[SANSDADDY] 2008 Christmas Holiday Greetings - SHORT!!!

I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of Holidays as well as a great start to 2009!!!

It's hard to believe that it's THAT time of year again...and I'm breaking a tradition of mine and NOT sending out a long email (post on the blog/notes) since some of you are on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and can read up on what's happening in my life there. (Same goes for the blog. I've also been in contact with practically all of you this past year too in some form.)

There also have been other "broken" traditions...such as me NOT driving my Dad's 1969 Scout on Christmas Eve. The Scout is in need of some repair to the exhaust system and the tires are getting shot. Oh well. I'll not share what more traditions have been broken out of respect to other people's privacy. But, change can be good, right???

Fortunately, one tradition will hold true and it's me spending time with my Grandma Thelma (Mom's mom) who's 93, still going strong, living in her own house, and doing as well as she can at her age. (I know she'll be cooking something as she always has.) It's good to be able to spend another Christmas with her because I know that these Christmases will be fewer as time passes.

Anyway, take care of yourselves, enjoy fellowship with family & friends, and be safe if any of you are traveling!
