  <description>Merry Christmas, everyone!  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.  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.
Reading this brought so many memories back from when I was young. 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.  As my brother reminded us this week:
[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]
From our family to yours, have a Merry Christmas!  Please enjoy your family and friends and make some new memories.
