“Going to New York City and seeing the big tree in front of Rockefeller Center. I didn’t get to ice skate because the line was too long, but the hot chocolate was amazing.”

“My daughter was born April 1999. Just to witness her first Christmas, it was an amazing feeling as a dad.”
Miriam Scott Long

“When I was 3 or 4 years old and my entire family was together. … I remember us sitting around and laughing and sitting on Daddy’s knee.”

“I don’t celebrate holidays, but when we have time off during the holidays, just spending time with family. We travel a lot and do volunteer work.”
