Merry Christmas
We all missed you this year and we pray that you had a merry Christmas. However, with you not there, I got double presents (sweet). Mount Kilaminjaro, that's nothing, I hiked House Mountain, the smallest mountain around. Once again, everything sounds wonderful from over there. Can't wait to hear from you again. By the way, I got Kim an engagement ring. Have a happy new year, brother.
