I love the Fibonacci numbers. Spent lots of time in my life playing with them. They are actually connected to the classical Greek golden ratio (comes up when you look for a closed form to generate them).
Here's an interesting thing that I discovered. Start with 1, 1, then instead of adding JUST the two previous terms, add ALL the previous terms. Pretty interesting sequence develops. I've never seen anyone else do this, though I suspect they have. I've played with different degrees of this approach (previous 3 entries instead of previous 2, for example) and generated interesting sequences of numbers, but none as cool as adding ALL the previous entries.

The boy was very young; perhaps 7 or 8 years old. He loved everything about
Christmas - the lights, the music, Santa ...
