Christmas Morning with Ginny - 2025
Just me and a great bunch of dogs
Embedded Files
Last year I shifted the format of my annual Christmas letter to a webpage to make it easier to view no matter what device you're using -- phone, tablet or laptop. (Your feedback on this helped. Thanks!)
Today I'm a Dog-Mom and get to share some little glimpses of my own dogs -- but I'll end this, as usual, on a very positive note with hope and much food for thought.
Christmas morning!
My boys and I wish you and yours a wonderful day!...
The big news this year: I adopted another dog in August. Jaimie is a terrific little one-year old Terrier-mix. It's a long story how he ended up here -- suffice to say I'm super lucky!!!
The moment Jaimie became mine...
Leo is now 11. He still only has two poses for the camera: "I LOVE MY BALL!" and "I'M READY!!"...
Kevin is almost 5 already! He's still playful, energetic, and Mr. Photogenic...
Young Jaimie is full of energy, but he has an inherent "savoir faire" about him handling any social situation with ease...
He's BIG into leaping and playing...
I see a lot of flashy leaping styles...
...all year long...
Sometimes bros race in tandem...
And sometimes they just keep watch on the action...
This trio is perfect for me...
Already they act like long-time family dogs...
Winter is exhilarating...
My guys know how to enjoy snow...
I love watching dogs be dogs outdoors...
...and indoors...
Jaimie fits right in...
I get lots of these little "awwwwww" moments...
Merry Christmas Everybody!!
Each year I like to wind up this letter on a very positive note as I look forward -- my tradition. The choices we make today determine how our tomorrows come to be.
By now you all know I am very fond of Pearls-of-Wisdom. They help me keep my focus on what's really important.
Ralph Waldo Emerson provided the most powerful quote of all for me:
"You become what you think about all day long."
Experience tells me this is oh-so-true. I'm grateful for everything that's happened in my life -- both the good and bad have shaped me into the person I am today. I'm pretty happy with that. I've found my passion in the work I do every day and I'm surrounded by love.
Even so, there are more things I want to do in my life, new goals I want to reach. Some seem daunting, but I always remind myself that as long as I keep taking little steps in the right direction I can get anywhere I want to go.
It's worth repeating another amazingly powerful quote from Henry Ford (or the Buddha, depending on how you lean).
"Whether you think you can or think you can't -- you're right."
Truer words were never spoken.
As 2026 approaches, I want to put my energy towards goals that will help me and those around me to live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. If there's one concept that really needs to go viral in this world it is this:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I'll finish this today with my absolutely ALL TIME FAVORITE words-to-live by. This one has turned into my annual closer -- the words of Maya Angelou...
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Merry Christmas!
Love to you all,
Ginny,
Leo, Kevin & Jaimie
