Merry Christmas to you. I'm so glad that you're here and I am so honored to get the chance to speak to you today.

Now listen, I don't know if you have special traditions. I'm sure you do with your family.

We have some in our family, Blend and I do, and by the way,

Blenden I on Wednesday of this week, we will celebrate 20 years of marriage.

So... So, yes, and you know, it kind of reminds me a little bit of a story. I heard of this

couple and they were old in life and they were reflecting back on their life and the husband says to the wife he says you know babe

I remember all throughout our life you know you you were there and I remember back in college before we were married and I was playing football and I broke my leg and you know you were

there.

Then we got married and I got in that car wreck and and babe you were there and then a little bit into our marriage I lost my job but you

know you were there and most recently I had that kidney failure and all the

while babe you were there and know, it got me thinking, I think you're bad luck.

Listen, Belinda's not bad luck.

She's very good luck.

She's been a great blessing.

But we have a little quirky tradition, okay?

And so what we like to do is on Christmas Day,

you know, this started actually with the idea

of what kids do to anticipate the presents,

you know, and they go and shake the presents,

and we kind of wanted them to have some anticipation about it,

especially like with the Legos.

You know, you go up and you shake a Lego box, you know, right away, it's you know you go up and you shake a LEGO box you know right away it's a LEGO so
