Lake Morning Show: The “hero” gift

There’s nothing like that split-second pause when your kid tears into the wrapping paper. The room goes quiet, then boom: unfettered joy.

For a few glorious minutes, you’re wearing the invisible crown of Best Parent Ever.

I still remember my own “hero” gift: a Nintendo 64. Two decades later, my parents nailed it again with a Kindle. Turns out, the magic doesn’t fade, it just changes shape.

So if you didn’t land the perfect gift this year? No sweat. Someday, your kids will be grown-ups, and you’ll still surprise them with something that makes their Christmas.

Tune in to 89.5 the Lake, your soundtrack for the season!
