Doc. Feel- We Are Marshall, Hope4Family and Christmas Cheer.

See More » Doc. Feel

Happy Holidays everyone! Well, it’s the time of year when I, like most of you I am sure, have NO time. I will be returning to questions and answers next week, for I am sure there will be plenty of holiday drama for people to write me about, but this week, I’m just going to fill everyone in on what I have been up to lately. I receive 20-30 letters a week asking about my life, so I thought I would let you in on some of it. I hope I do not bore you to tears.

This month has been a very busy one for me. It seems we don’t even get past Thanksgiving without Christmas hitting. I have come to the conclusion that the holiday season now begins on Nov 1st and lasts until Jan 2nd. Don’t get me wrong. I love the holidays, especially with the boys, but my mad-organizational skills and my anal retention with my data planner, cell phone and calendar get very overworked during this extended holiday season. Fa-la-la-la-la. I need to thank my best friend Anthony for getting me back into the constant usage of cell phones. I have a nature to avoid phones like the plague, but to the cheers of my boys and friends, Anth has brought my love of texting and voicemail back! Hell, I even have 3 distinct ringtones now- Josh Groban O’Holy Night, TSO Christmas Cannon and Sarah McLachlan’s Ordinary Day from Charlotte’s Web.

In the last 3 weeks, the boys have went on Christmas Break from college, I went to Huntington WV for the premiere of We Are Marshall and sat in the same Keith-Albee Theatre as Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox and walked the “green carpet.” My Hollywood moment. Very interesting indeed. Tickets were expensive, but much worth it. The movie is absolutely AMAZING. I recommend it to everyone. It had me intrigued and touched me deeply. I see MANY awards coming out of this movie. Both my boys met Fox and McConaughey and liked them both, but found McConaughey more “down-to-Earth.”

I have worked tirelessly with the rest of the QC Team on Hope4Family.org and though it has been rough and tiring and at times highly emotional and draining, it has offered me the best of Christmas spirit and hope that people can and do make changes in others' lives that will remain forever emblazoned on their souls. I think the simplest of Gods plan is for us all to act in this way toward others. Always paying it forward.

I have been to the boys concerts at their colleges for band concert, jazz concerts etc. Then the 2-3 day shopping trips they drag me on. UGH! I like shopping, but prefer doing it from online…lol It is always fun watching the boys tear up the malls though. Reminds me of when I was their age and just watching them laugh and joke back and forth along with endless bad humor between brothers it warms the heart. I hate admitting it, but I still love Christmas morning watching them open their gifts and getting all surprised and laughing and smiling and just basically flipping out over their loot for the day. I also like the long evenings of watching TV, going to movies and spending time catching up on all their antics.

The worst part of this holiday hit last week when I got a subpoena that I had to be in court from today (21st-Jan 2nd) as a Federal witness against some tragic fools criminality. Trust me, there is nothing more boring than sitting through a federal court case. So with the holidays, the boys, family, work, the Hope4Family and court, I haven’t had much time for anything else. My best bud Anth and I were gonna take the boys to NYC to see Les Miserables and be at Times Square for New Years Eve, but now with this court craaaaappp, that’s out. Fa-la-la-la-la

This weekend ends the Hope4Family.org and I shall be spending time out singing with a rather large group of carolers that the boys have asked me to attend and then a group of instrumentalists are performing. About 65 of them and I agreed to play trumpet with them, so with those and family and Christmas Monday, I’ll need 12 days of sleeping.

All of you keep smiling, keep that holiday cheer flowing and remember to enjoy every holiday to the fullest. We never know when it could be our last or someone who is very close to us.
