Circle of Trust
This was the first year that I could remember where I didn’t spend Christmas with my parents. My parents are alive and doing well, but they went to Mexico in October, were supposed to return but ended up staying there knowing that we’d be there for New Year’s Eve. But I could tell you that their abscense was felt. Christmas didn’t feel like Christmas without them. This gave me a glimpse on how people who have lost their parents must feel during the holidays, not only the holidays but all special occasions and just about every day of their lives.
So my message to the PAX are to spend quality time with your parents if they are still around. Yes, listen to their stories, no matter how often they repeat the same one. Visit them, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Life is short, don’t spend the rest of your life regretting not spending enough time with them.

Had a blast sledding down the hill, I believe it’s been 10 years since I last did it. From the feedback/AAR I received, everyone else enjoyed it.
