Christmas 2007

Friends, Family, and Furred Creatures,
Greetings and Salutations! Alas, the sweet smells of holly and pine is upon us once more as we set forth in motion the holiday chain of events. After a year of being “good” and a month of searching for parking spots at the local mall, we finally reach the day in which we wake up earlier than ever. Amongst, all of the good tidings and great cheer we have begun to ponder this previous year, and reflect back on what has happened in the two-thousand and seventh year of our Lord.
Rumor has it; Chuck Norris put extra locks on his door when four local Chicagoan’s received their Black Belts. Another headliner was Brent’s big move to chi-town, as he finishes up his degree at DePaul. He didn’t get far from the homestead as he moved less then a block from Michelle. Any future shenanigans will be dually noted. Michelle put her best foot forward in the working world this December as she (finally) graduated in Interior Design. She is now working full time at Ware Malcomb Architects. Although, its not civil engineering, she’ll be working on many of same projects as her Pop’s. Sherri is showing off her latest fashions on the locals as she’s still styling at Stein Mart. Finally, last but definitely not the least, Preston has perfected the art of the “Golden Child”. As the class president and a second degree blackbelt, he’s giving a young Chuck Norris a run for his money.
Luckily for you the format of this letter has minimal space for “bragging”. (Please see separate attachment of the accomplishments of the Cats…) On that note, the Jacob household wishes you a warm Christmas season, and a stress-free holiday filled with rainbows and smiles.
Happy Christmas,
Jeff, Sherri, Michelle, Brent, and Preston
