“My favorite Christmas memory is easy. One that will be the same year in and year out. It’s not about presents, lights or trees or any traditional memories associated with the season.

“My favorite Christmas memory happened exactly at 2:37 a.m., early Christmas morning 5 years ago. It was the greatest gift ever, a healthy, 9lb. bundle of baby boy. My son Reece was born Christmas morning and forever changed my life.

“Nothing will ever surpass that memory, as much as I like this time of year, all of the great classic Christmas music, movies, and traditions that come along with Christmas, there will never be another Christmas like that day!
