It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Actually, it very often feels like Christmas to me. I listen to Christmas Music often, and when I seem to let the Spirit of Christms drop a bit, I am pulled back by those wonderful people around me. It is my hope and goal to, as the narrator in Charles Dickens great story “A Christmans Carol” once said-He kept Christmas in his heart all year long.

The USCG is exceptionally good at their job of protecting us. I was honored to be part of their Holiday Celebration in early December.

Hello everyone-this has been an amazing season and the opportunities to share the joy of the season have been amazing. Thank you to my many amazing elves and helpers, who are now legion. Thank you for always making me smile and for your kind comments. All of this for a little baby….thanks be to God for the Savior that was sent for all of us.

Santa’s 2014 season has been very busy and he is running out of steam, at least according to the elves. There have been many requests to have Santa visits and unfortunately he could not be everywhere at one time (except on Christmas Eve, of course). Thanks to all of the amazing elves that have helped out. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I wanted to let my friends know that my schedule is getting quite full for 2014, as the word has gotten around, I guess. Please check out my updated schedule page. Merry Christmas, everyone!
