Dear Reader, I'm so excited for the holiday season. Even though I prefer summer because I'm used to the warmer climate, I do appreciate friends and families coming together during this the season. Of course, I enjoy receiving presents on Christmas. Always have, always will. I can remember my Christmas list being a mile long asking for expensive gifts. Since I have a decent paying job, I have been able to afford things that I would normally ask for during Christmas. I still love seeing the tree after it is trimmed with ornaments. Maybe you van tell from the front cover, but our family forgoes the traditional ball style ornaments for those either offered by Hallmark, ones made by me growing up, or ones received as gifts over the years. The Christmas season never starts for ME until I watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on CBS. And I will keep shouting from the rooftops until I am old and gray that RUDOLPH NEEDS TO AIR BEFORE FROSTY THE SNOWMAN! Christmas just isn't Christmas without Silver and Gold sung by the great Burl Ives, and I will not start shopping for Christmas until I find out if Santa really did return to the Island of Misfit Toys, and if Yukon Cornelius ever struck it rich with silver.

I also have fond memories of other people and their take on Christmas, such as my old boss Ru-Bone Hernandez absolutely HATING the song "Wonderful Christmastime" by Wings (Paul and Linda McCartney's band). I posted the video to his Facebook page as I was writing this article, so if he ever sees this: Hope you're still having a Wonderful Christmastime. Anyhoo, this issue will be an all photograph issue containing pictures taken during the Austin Radio Network Christmas party, my Grandmother's 86th birthday party, and my girlfriend Jahna's visit to my house. There will also be Christmas pictures taken throughout the years. I hope you enjoy looking through this year's photo album.

Christmas issues of the Somewhere Out There Newsletter are photo galleries. Since I know how precious resources on the server are, I will make the PDF available at the top of the page. There will be no podcast attached to photo album issues.
