Pam and Max and I wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas! It’s been a tough year for us, but it’s been a good year too. When someone mentions that they’ve had a tough time, people will respond, “at least you have your health.” And that has been the reason for such a bad year. We’ve seen the insides of so many doctor’s waiting rooms, we could probably become designers for waiting rooms!

Pam is holding up well, and we’re going to focus on positive things, not negative things. The cancer was caught early, it’s small, and the doctors are optimistic and the prognosis is very good.

So friends – have a great Christmas! Rejoice in the things that went well. Enjoy being with family and friends. Tell someone you love them. Take the time to smile at strangers.

Here is a movie of our light show this year. We got home late from our vacation this year, and I really didn’t get a great show going. It’s a little subdued from previous years, but next year I promise to knock it out of the park! If you turn up your sound, you should hear the music that the lights flash on and off to…

Oh – we found a little Christmas bag on our doorstep this morning. In it was some home made short bread cookies, and a note thanking us for “sharing our Holiday Cheer with your Festive display of Lights!” Isn’t that swell!? Made my day! What a sweet thing to do! Thanks!
