Happy Thursday,<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to wish you a very special Merry Christmas this morning! I hope you\u2019ve had the chance to eat a nice holiday breakfast and unwrap presents under your tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m currently at my family\u2019s home in Duncanville where I\u2019ve filled my plate with quite a few tamales. I\u2019m cracking a few jokes with my siblings and playing an intense game of Guitar Hero on Playstation 2 \u2014 I know, the console is quite the artifact. Later today, we\u2019re going to head to downtown Fort Worth to snap a couple of family photos in front of the Sundance tree.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for some creative ways to spend Christmas Day with your family, check out the Peace Plaza Ice Rink in front of the Grapevine Main Station<\/strong><\/a>.
