Hi Jar:
Well it that time again, Christmas season, most depressing time for me. Christmas Eve and Christmas are not what they used to be with us. Everyone is grown up and have there own lives to live. It is so hard to get everyone together at the same time around the holidays. It gets to be a very lonely time.
Still I can cherrish all the wonderful times we had at Christmas while you kids were growing up. To look back at the movies when you guys were small, seeing you guys looking out the window and the expression on your faces when you thought you saw santa and the sleigh coming. To have it on film is precious. the many times I took you kids to have your picture with santa and when my friend dressed up as santa and came over on christmas eve.
Getting old is not fun, just gettin over Bronchitis, pnemonia, and the gout this past two weeks and it takes so much longer to get better.
Well I know tuck is very happy with his family and I am so glad for him. Alec and Jared are wonderful boys, that you would have loved. Brian has a wonderful family also and his little Natalie is a doll, I love her to pieces and his wife is a peach.. Mindy just got engaged and Tatum is doing well in school and working toward a teaching degree.
Enough for now, Happy holiday,
love dad
