Re-Purpose Your Focus from Doc:

      As I sit here on Christmas Eve morning, feeling more aches and pains than I should,  listening to the news, I am reminded of Christmases long ago. 
     Today was the day we would tentatively watch the evening news for updates on where Santa was in his journey.  As I grew older I had the same opportunity to do the same thing with my kids.  Traditions are things that were started by our parents and their parents and so on until we pass them on to our kids and or friends and family.  We never cooked on Christmas Eve.  It was a day of some sort of take out.  Sub sandwiches from Clark's Deli, pizza from Tony's, tradition.  There was the baking of the cookies, making hot chocolate the old fashioned way, setting out the cookies and milk for Santa, tradition. 
     We all have that tradition that we have carried with us all our lives so if tonight you reflect on those traditions from long ago and bring one back if just for tonight you'll have that "I feel like a kid again" feeling that might just make your Christmas Eve a little nicer and just maybe start a new tradition to carry forward.  I can easily tie this back to our group with all of the new traditions we have started but just by my mention of this I'll let you reflect on those new traditions we have started and maybe you can bring a new start to share with all of us.  So for now as I do each and every year I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and hope that this reminds you of days gone by.  Traditions are those things that we do to keep the past part of our future.  Remember one from your past or start a new one with your family.  I look forward to seeing you next week on New Year's Day for our traditional ride and get together to start our New Year off on the right 2 wheels.
