Merry Christmas

It's been a while since I’ve done a Christmas post so here it goes...

We were fortunate to have ALL the kids home for Thanksgiving which was wonderful. Shannon and Branden are doing very well both personally and professionally. 

 Daniel and Jenna continue to make progress with their music and have become one of the top bands in Austin.  Little Johnny continues to grow and truly believes “the world is his oyster".  

One of the many blessings of having a grandchild is watching life through their eyes.  Johnny is forever discovering new things, be they “rolly-pollys”, worms, birds, or cool cars and trucks.  This Christmas season will be special has I expect Johnny will experience the “magic” of Christmas with all of lights, goodwill, Love, and of course presents under the tree for the first tim. It will be special to watch and perhaps learn from.

  As Gloria Estefan wrote in her song “Christmas Through Your Eyes” … 

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I see the rain, you see the rainbow hiding in the clouds
Never afraid to let your love show
Won't you show me how
Wanna learn how to believe again
Find the innocence in me again
Through your young heart
Help me find a way, help me try

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

Carol & I are very blessed and wish all of our dear friends and family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Of course Christmas is not Christmas without Nat. So, once again, So in the words of Mel Torme as performed by the golden voice of Nat King Cole.     The Christmas Song

“...And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to.. You!”
