It was ten Christmas Day's ago that Sandy, Susan, Bradley and I lost a part of our hearts, our Mom, Irene, "Reenie". While we remember our Mom [and Pop] everyday, Christmas Day brings a special day of remembrance for Reenie, a Yankee Doodle Dandy, who was born on the 4th of July and died on Christmas day.

| Love you, Reenie |
This Christmas will be the fifth Christmas with our [Sheralyn and my] granddaughter Skye Noelle. We just celebrated Skye's fifth birthday on December 11, 2020. I know Mom and Pop are smiling down in joy at our granddaughter blessing.

While celebrating our granddaughter Skye's fifth birthday and remembering Mom on this Christmas Day as always, Tales wants to wish a very Merry and Blessed Christmas to my wife Sheralyn, and to all of my Christian friends, and to all Christians.
For everyone who celebrates Christmas, here are a few of my favorite Christmas songs that I hope you enjoy. I picked these because they are so, very beautiful.
So, please turn up the volume and enjoy.
O Come All Ye Faithful - Andy Williams:
O Holy Night - Johnny Mathis:
Handel: The Messiah, "The Hallelujah Chorus":
"Do You Hear What I Hear" - Johnny Mathis:
Here is a beautiful song [I understand a recent edition to the Christmas repertoire] I recorded at the "Straight No Chaser" concert my wife and I attended a few months ago [in 2018] in Houston.
"Mary, Did You Know" sung by Straight No Chaser:
