Hi All,

I haven't posted in a while, just been going through things and getting myself in order to start the new year off on the right foot. Hope all is well with you and yours, as they say back in Mayberry. But couldn't resist passing on this Holiday tip for you.

Since 1958, NORAD has been tracking Santa’s sleigh every Dec. 24, and it’s been a tradition in our home ever since Ian was born. Even now, we still check in to see where Santa is along his journey. It never gets old.

🎅 Pass this list of ways to track Santa to anyone in your circle with kiddos at home. They’ll owe you big-time.

On Dec. 24, dial 1‑877‑HI‑NORAD. Someone will answer and tell your family where Santa is located.

Hit the website noradsanta.org for fun games, a countdown, 3D tracking maps and Santa cam videos.

Have an Echo? Say, “Alexa, ask NORAD Tracks Santa where Santa is.” Easy!

A lot of people don’t know about Rudolph’s wife, Olive. But she’s mentioned in the song: “Olive, the other reindeer.” (lol)

Happy Holidays and wishing the best for you in the new year. Remember that if you don't have a great day, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Respectfully,

Mario

Remember that life is a journey, not a destination. We will have highs and lows as we trudge the road to happy destiny. Always try to learn from the lows, that's where the lessons are. And savor the highs, those are the gifts we get.

Life is really about growth. If you cannot adapt to the changing times, if you cannot grow, and change, you won’t survive. You need to grow, or you will die out.

I am of the mind to agree with poet Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

🚨 Gmail scam spreading: This is frightening. Watch out for fake Gmail account recovery request notifications that look like the real deal. Hackers try to convince you to sign in through a phony login page, where they can then capture your password. Ignore or decline the request, and they’ll follow up with an AI-generated Google support call in which the caller claims someone has accessed your account and stolen your data. Ignore that, too. Pass this on, so everyone knows this is happening.
