2015 Christmas Letter to Loved Ones

Christmas in Scott’s mind....

Christmas is a time of year that drives me to begin my annual reflection. I begin thinking about the past year of life. Where I am, where I am headed, where I want to go, who I am headed there with and why.

Radical emotions and energy flow through me and words can only scrape the surface to describe how I feel.

Christmas means so much more to me than the birth of Christ.

Christmas is a time for family, presence, goodwill and reflection.

Family represents a cohesive unit. No one person is more important than the other. We all fill a necessary role that makes the family complete. Without one of us the engine does not run smooth.

I am so grateful for a white Christmas in Hood River this year with my family. There is truly no other place i’d rather be.

The Present is so much more than being in the moment. It is having the ability to reflect on the past, learn from it and do something now to make your future better than you could possibly imagine. If I could give a present to the whole world every Christmas it would truly be The Present by; Spencer Johnson.

Goodwill represents the Scout Law and The Scout Slogan. Living this makes me feel better about myself, but most importantly it makes the world a better place.

This Christmas I simply wish for your happiness, health and prosperity.

Thank you for all you have given me beyond things. Your love, kindness and motivation drives me to be a stronger, more intelligent more inspiring human being.

Merry Christmas To All and To All a Goodnight.
Love ^*^ Scott ^*^
