I have spent Christmas in several cities throughout the US. It was always very enlightening sometimes quite literally enlightening such as the luminaires that line hundreds of houses along the streets of Arizona. Other times it was intellectually enlightening such as seeing Old New Mexico, the Petrified Forest, and St Louis. They all have one thing in common,the festive loving feeling and the pure joy of the holidays. Even the trains get into the spirit by having fun with their uniforms and passing along Christmas Greetings to the sleeping car passengers.

| Jon Bon Jovi's house joke on his family. |
Jon Bon Jovi's house is always lit up from the inside because the families excitement and Christmas spirit overflows. Of course, we all know of Jon's Christmas family photo tradition. Jon has other traditions like making his children spend some time at his charity kitchens or serving in one of his other helping hand locations. By serving, they learn how good it feels to help others. Jon Bon Jovi has some fun. Jon has a couple of friends with two Reindeer. I have no idea how Jon gets his hands on the reindeer. I only know he does it. One year he surprised the family, by having them walk through his yard. He did not make a big deal about the reindeer walking through his yard while the rest of the family looked on in wonder. It is like one of those moments when your eyes and your mind don't really click. Seeing reindeer walk through your yard is not a typical occurrence. Most people would have to look twice to make sure it really was reindeer. Jon knows how to keep a straight face when he needs to. This time it was hard to not crack up since the rest of his family including Dorothea were so excited by the mysterious intruders. You could say they were over the moon about the reindeer. A little wonder started to slip into the minds of the group as to how the exotic deer got onto the Bon Jovi estate. Jon's acting skills kicked in and he delivered his line perfectly by saying, "Maybe they belong to the neighbors." Dorothea started to suspect that his explain did not fit the situation. She looked into his eyes. That eye contact was all that it took. Jon broke down and started cracking up. The reindeer story is one of my favorite Christmas stories. I had a similar occurrence, although not as festive, when I woke up to find a couple of wild turkeys in our backyard in a house I no longer live in. Unusual wildlife are amazing to see.
Romeo Bongiovi, Jon and Dorothea's son, talks about the reindeer every year. Jon collects reindeer. I would not be surprised if it was not a way to remind the family of the funny day when reindeer first walked through their yard.
This memory is part of my memories of Christmas in different cities. My Grandmother use to entertain a former ambassador in her home for Christmas. The older couple had the most amazing ranch.
In the family photo album they brought over to share with me were images of their private life and family memories on the ranch. It was gorgeous from every angle with photos of it from the air. The aerial photo was amazing since the ranch was literally huge with the openness of the west I was left in awe.They were my Grandparent's neighbors. I forget their names now but I will never forget their ranch, family photo album and the wonderful corn pudding that the former Ambassador's wife made. It was so yummy. Along with luminaires, the golf carts in Arizona were decorated with all kinds of Christmas themes and items. The seniors loved to have fun.

| The fabulously fun Sofia Vergara |
Sofia Vergara loves to celebrate each Holiday by hosting a party. She is one of the sweetest actress on tv. I admire her attention to detail on the elaborate family parties she hosts. Her success as the female lead on the hugely popular Modern Family has made her world famous. It is her charisma and kind heart that makes people respond to her. She is the Latin lover of people. She always has a hug and a huge smile to give. Sofia inspires people to celebrate life by being an example of joyous lifestyle overflowing. Follow her Instagram and twitter to see all the fun she gets into on a regular basis. We both agree family parties for every holiday makes the memories sweeter. Sofia and I have a few friends in common that are not in the public eye or in the news but she knows who they are. Our mutual friends can't say enough about her and I know she enjoys my stories. Sofia and I have a lot in common.
Matthew Morrison has a similar way of greeting people His hugs are famous. I dont know why people dont hug more often. It is a great thing to do .Those wonderful happy chemicals released in the brain make everyone feel more relaxed. The hug does not have to be a romantic connection for the improvement and chemicals to be released. Add a little Sofia Vergara and Matthew Morrison to your life and hug. I thought of Sofia as Christmas parties are common this time of year but holiday parties for families on other occasions are great as well. As I mentioned we both like to celebrate. Each city has their own parties to observe.
Shout out to Kim K and Chloe, thanks for the kind words. You know I appreciate you all very much. Good Luck Sofia, you deserve the best.
