I will. 

Or I am.

As you’re reading this, the HogBlog is on holiday.  I’m flying into Charlotte, NC, heading back to Camden, South Carolina for a few days, then heading up the map to North Carolina and my parents’ home in Castle Hayne.  I’ll be eating, drinking, and making a plenty merry Christmas with the folks at home.  I probably won’t be updating the blog during the trip, so I thought I’d go ahead and plant a few posts in advance.

With that in mind, here’s a little Christmas carol for you all to enjoy.  It’s been done many times, and many ways, but I sorta like Dean-o’s version.

While you’re listening, preparing for your own Christmas celebration with family, friends, and loved ones; take a few moments and send some positive thoughts of love and kindness to our men and women in uniform who can’t be home for Christmas this year.  And then offer one more to those who will never come home for Christmas again.
