Had a wonderful Christmas. I really do wish the spirit of christmas was felt every day. The only thing that I do not like is the rushing and getting impatient that takes place. But I know that also I was being taught to slow down and take time for what really matters, like you. Love you Philip.

Been really busy making Christmas gifts this month. I feel that homemade gifts are much better because you take the time out to make them, and we all know time is precious. Love you my son.

I am so proud of my son. He went to the republican meeting in Williamsburg, Va. this weekend and accepted on behalf of the city of Colonial Heights an award for the city with the most republican votes in recent election. Way to go Philip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
