Christmas movies are a bit, we were talking about that,

just even thinking about home alone.

Yeah.

And I didn't realize it until this year.

That movie really isn't about Kevin.

It's about the old guy, the guy that was down the road.

And the whole movie was really leading up to this spot where he's in church

and he wants to be with his family, but he can't.

Yeah.

That he's estranged from his son.

Yeah. That he's estranged from his son. Yeah. And I just think there's a lot of families that are probably like that, that are home alone.

So Christmas isn't a couple weeks. I know it's one of your favorite holidays of the year.

I love Christmas. But I also know Christmas can be hard. Like I know some of you are pumped out of your minds. And your kids, if you have little kids, they are ecstatic. They're not even sleeping at night because they're so excited. But we also know that there are some people that, like, this is going to be a really hard

Christmas because maybe they've lost someone they love.

You know, you've gone through some really difficult circumstances possibly.

And talk about hard Christmases.

I'm thinking you've had, as a little boy boy one of the hardest Christmases.

Yeah, we can talk about that in a minute.
