Consider this a virtual Christmas card and HUG from our family to yours. Hoping your holiday season is spent with all the ones you love - happy and healthy.

Our plans for this Christmas season is to spend all kinds of time as a family watching movies, playing games, and just being together. We will also head to Crossroads for Christmas mass and make a stop to see Santa along the way because well Santa is my favorite — see below

S A N T A

I grew up with a really close connection with Santa. My grandpa was Santa’s helper and was the best Santa Claus around! He was always so jolly and always tried to get you to laugh.

I wish I could have one more day with him. But if I did, I’m sure he’d tell me to stop taking life so seriously, you’re not getting out of it alive!

I cherish these pictures from the past. It keeps the memory of him alive. If any of you knew Fritz Bries, you would agree that he was the best Santa!
