I usually do this every couple of years, however please allow me this year for this site.

As one who's lost a nephew and a very close friend, plus came real close to losing my wife (all this year), I would like to suggest that when you ladies and gentlemen are celebrating Christmas, to take out your cell phones and make a few videos of your family members. One of these days they won't be around and you can always find that video and look at them and hear their voice again.

My nephew passed at 55 years old, and him being 10 years younger than me, I would've never thought I would out live him. But I did, and even though I've made this type of post over the past few years, I don't have anything but some pictures, and his old cell phone greeting. I should've practiced what I preached, but I didn't.

May all of you ladies and gentlemen have a happy and blessed Christmas season.
