It's been an unusual year for me. I have had some health problems that prompted me to go ahead and retire at 50 and enjoy life, my son has just graduated with a business degree and is getting some good offers -Boy I am glad I am finished and not just starting out!- It's nearly midnight and my son id home for the holidays my oldest daughter just left and my 11 year old id fast asleep (I hope) and Santa is about to arrive... Shoes kicked off, feet propped up and every one in their favorite chair my wife, oldest son and I have been talking about old times when the kids were younger and all the good times we have had. It leaves you with that warm feeling, the one you want to last forever, to me that's what Christmas is about family, memories, togetherness, and love.

I wish everyone has a Christmas as good as I am having right now! Merry Christmas to all my friends here on the chipboard.
