Woodring s Christmas Story

Hello

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Living in America, I guess �"Happy Holidays” is a more appropriate thing to say.

It’s approaching the end of the year and I have many… oh so many things… that are still undone.

There is one thing I will do however; I will be going to New York to visit my family up there.

The Holiday season is a time to be with family, it is a time to visit loved ones. I encourage you not to miss you this special time because something things cannot be undone.

If you are thinking about visiting someone you have not seen in a while, please do that.

Let me tell you why!

About 8 years ago I called my brother Dior Saint Preux to tell him:

�"Brother, I have not seen you in over 6 years. You are married and you have two kids, yet I don’t know your wife and I don’t know your kids.

I am coming to spend Christmas with you. I would like a chance to chit chat a little and get to know your new family.”

My brother Dior replied: �"Woody, my door is wide open to you. It would be an honor to have you over for Christmas.”

A few days before Christmas, I found a rare opportunity to finish my Microsoft Certification exams (MCSE) for a promotion at work.

Instead of flying to Orlando to spend Christmas with my brother Dior, I decided to use the vacation time to study.

About a month later, I flew to Orlando anyway but… to see him in a coffin.

�"Achou”, that’s what we called him, died unexpectedly in his sleep.

I had to go there; I had to meet his family at his funeral.

If there is one Christmas that I really regret, it’s the Christmas I missed with my brother Dior Saint Preux and his family. I had no Idea it was going to be our last Christmas together.

I would hate for you to have a story like mine every time Christmas is around the corner.

So this Christmas and every Christmas thereafter, spend time with your family, friends, and loved ones, money or no money, gifts or no gifts.

Thank you for letting me bore you for a whole year; I am looking forward to doing it again next year.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holiday
