( Alex, Me & Nate)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I hope it was filled with lot's of laughter, love and wonderful memories to be shared for years to come. I know that mine was. The Vosicky Family together in entirety this year, started our Christmas morning off early at 6AM to go to the Waterfront Rescue Mission to deliver meals to those in Mobile that don't have the means to provide a hot meal for themselves and their family on Christmas Day. We have done it for the past 3 years now and each year it starts the morning off just how it should be, serving others before going home and serving yourself. You come home and actually appreciate a warm home, a hot meal and the nice things that you get to open. Each year every single one of us have been humbled by one person we drought meals off to and it will always put a smile on my face to think of how we might have effected that persons life with just us delivering a hot meal to them, and smiling while saying "Have a wonderful Christmas!" It's a very humbling experience, I advice everyone to volunteer for you, because you won't regret it.
We then heading home and ventured into opening the presents. Although for the first time ever, we had a Christmas that was practical. We all got things that we needed or items that were going to be used in a daily basis. All in all I feel very blessed this holiday season. I have seen a love of an entire family come together and laugh more than I have ever seen, I have been around my family for longer than I expected without getting mad or upset and I have come to appreciate growing up and how my parents raised my brothers and I.
It sometimes takes sitting around a table with your entire family to see that. To see that every single person in my family loves me, will support me regardless of my choices in life, and will always be there for me. That's the most amazing gift of all.
So, as we exit this holiday season I hope that everyone found that gift that was not found under the Christmas tree. Of course, the ultimate gift was born in a manger in a small town, where the world didn't' even know that the King of the world was to be born.
Enjoy the remaining days of 2009 (as hard as that is to believe it's almost over) and be safe as you enter 2010!!!
