  <description>&lt;p&gt;Merry Christmas, everyone!&amp;nbsp; As I mentioned in Season 1, Episode 21 Winter Driving and Survival Tips, I wanted to do something fun for Christmas that the whole family could enjoy.&amp;nbsp; My dad used to read "Twas the Night before Christmas" to the family when we were young, so in that fine tradition, I read and recorded it for you and your family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reading this brought so many memories back from when I was young.&amp;nbsp;In this day and age when we are so caught up in shopping and presents and packages and dinners and parties, it is important to take a little time to stop and enjoy the moment.&amp;nbsp; As my brother reminded us this week:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[tweetthis]"Life is but a mist; we are only on this earth for a short time. Enjoy life, family &amp;amp; friends! Merry Christmas!"[/tweetthis]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From our family to yours, have a Merry Christmas!&amp;nbsp; Please enjoy your family and friends and make some new memories.&lt;/p&gt;
