Christmas letter, 2020

 Hello friends and family!

     It has been NEVER since we've written a Christmas letter, but this has been such a phenomenal year for our family, that it seems like this year more than any other deserves a letter.  Let me first introduce the main characters . . . and they are characters!!  First, there is the head of the illustrious Morrissette family, Jay.  Jay is an all-around amazing guy.  There is so much I could say, but I'll just let that suffice.  Then, there is the wife and mother extraordinaire, Jennifer.  I can only say she is a modern-day Pro. 31 woman, far above her weight (which is perfect, by the way) in gold.  Lastly, we have our son, Donny, who is considered a genius by one and all.  He was spotted playing ball in the park and was recruited-the youngest recruit ever-to play for the local soccer league.  He is fully expected to start playing on a national level within a few years.

     Because of the social and political climate, we have delayed formal education for now, and have instead devoted this past year to travel.  We have circled the globe several times.  We have been to both poles, and also to the equator.  As a family, the three of us climbed both Everest and the pyramids in Egypt.  We loved racing across Alaska pulled by a team of sled dogs!  Wherever you can name, we went and had an amazing time!

     Also in the vein of racking up experiences, we were able to personally meet with all of today's top artists, painters, singers, writers, philosophers . . . you name it.

     There was only one slight disappointment in our year, and that is that we lost all of our photos.  We look on this as a blessing, though, as it forces us to cherish our memories in our hearts.

     We hope your year was as amazing as ours . . . though it probably wasn't.  Better luck next year!

                                                                    Much love to you and yours, and bright hopes for a great 2021.
