Merry Christmas to my family and friends. Last year I started a Christmas web page as a replacement for the traditional Christmas card, or Christmas letter. I hope this combines the best elements of all methods and provides a means to let you know that I think of you at Christmas time and I wish to send you my most sincere wishes for a very Merry Christmas for you and your family.

Santa Spice has been sitting in the Big Chair at Bass Pro Shops in Toledo Ohio since November 8 and will be there until December 24, 2009. This is my first Santa store job. The hours are long and 47 days straight without a day off. But it is nice to be working again and to be able to bring joy to some 8,000 children and their parents and grand parents.

Aaron and Steven belong to the Order of DeMolay in Royal Oak.

| Aaron was installed as Master Council in Royal Oak Phoenix DeMolay in September 2009. The left picture is myself, Aaron, and Uncle Charlie, all 3 being Master Councilors. Charlie and I were MC's in Hazel Park chapter in 1962 and 1964. The right hand picture shows Detroit Commandery who did an escort for the DeMolay Installation, with Aaron being escorted through the Honor Guard on his way to the East. Steven was installed as Senior Deacon. | |

With Gunther at Detroit Zoo polar bear tunnel. On the right his shirt says "The fun has arrived" It was a great joy being able to spend time with Gunther this summer. First time I had seen him in over 2 years.

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card web page. I enjoyed being Santa this year and I hope you and your family enjoy your Christmas and have a great New Year. If you wish to see more, you can go to my year around family web page. May the peace of our Lord be with you.
