Hi Sheryl,it's the google man googling to remind you "FESTIVAS FOR THE REST OF US".I donated a sizable cash gift in your name to THE HUMAN FUND [20 thousand dollars].I'm sure you are over joyed to learn this. Did the Professor dress as a Santa helper? I hope you're not having second thougths about me being with you on Feb.1.Don't worry,when I get finished talking to the guests and the media reps,everyone will know why you should have your reality show.Take care of yourself,you count and alot of people depend on you as a friend and inspiration.  Love, Dad

Hi Dad!
So glad you are celebrating Festivus this year. Festivus for the rest of us! How did you do with the feats of strength? I've been practicing all year so I could destroy the competition.

You even remembered the Human Fund! People helping people! How kind! Can I consider that a tax deductible donation in my name for this year's taxes? Thanks :)

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if having you there on Feb 1st is such a good idea...

I hope you and Maria had a good Christmas. I couldn't get the Professor to dress up. Maybe next year.

xo Sheryl

PS Good luck in this blizzard that's on its way!

Happy Festivus to one and all!
