I realize this is a late post, but better late than never. It was wonderful to be at HOME for the holidays. Being at the home where I grew up and seeing my parents and grandparents is always a treasure for me because I don't visit very often. This year, I couldn't help but feel the real meaning of Christmas as our entire family decided to give Christmas to a well needed family. Each member of my family was given an assignment as to who they were to buy for. As we were driving to this family's home I couldn't help but get a little emotional because this family has so much less than I do and to see the children's faces as we kept bringing gift after gift into their small home was truly spectacular. The gifts took up more than their small trailer's front room and the mother just kept thanking us over and over. It was truly a memorable Christmas.Wednesday, December 24, 2008

Hey Cory, I know this is really late now, but it did seem that this Christmas people were nicer and kinder than in the last fews years. Maybe we're just more in tune with the spirit this year. :)
