_I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas.  My family has been very blessed.  In fact, I would say borderline spoiled.  We try to continually remind our kids that it is Christ’s birth that we are celebrating.  We try to remind them that He is God’s gift to mankind.  He is the path to eternal life in heaven.  His death and resurrection covers our sins, and this gift is available to all who choose.  However, I think it is hard for young kids and us adults for that matter, to get past the trees, the lights, and the presents.

For many the end of the year means racing is right around the corner.  The Chili Bowl begins Jan. 10thand can be seen on pay per view.  The Winter Nationals begins February 1st at East Bay and can be seen again on X CELERATED for a fee.  You can find info on both events on their websites.
