Dear Boo,

Now that we’re home from Thanksgiving in Atlanta, we’re starting to officially prepare for one of my favorite times of year — Christmas!

Christmas is for us primarily a celebration of when Jesus was born, but it’s also just a fun time to enjoy family and friends and winter holiday traditions. This week Tucker and I are putting up our Christmas tree, and then Tucker and Mama will decorate it together. It will be a few years before you really know what’s going on, but I have no doubt that Christmas will be a very special and exciting time for you and Tucker for many years to come.

This week you weigh about as much as your average cantaloupe, which are a type of melon that is usually eaten by itself or in a fruit salad, but some ingenious people even have it wrapped in prosciutto. It has a lot of Vitamin C and some antioxidants that make it really good for you. One of the things that’s really unique about cantaloupe is that its skin is covered in a neat net-like covering. You’ll be unique too, but hopefully without a net.

Love,

Dad
