For the 3rd year in a row, I've opted to do a more environmentally friendly holiday greeting instead of sending out traditional Christmas cards. Plus it saves time, saves money and you get to relive my entire year, instead of just checking out a photo or two. I love putting these slideshows together because it takes me back to where I've been in the last 12 months and helps me focus on where I'd like to go.

I am so in love with life right now and I have so much to be thankful for. I have a great family that supports me through thick and thin, a wonderful girlfriend and business partner. I have a great staff that takes care of my wonderful wedding couples. The [ b ] School is coming along quite nicely and I am so stoked for the people who participate and are helping us grow. I am also so thankful for Paul, my dad Gary, Jon, Patrick, Tim, Erik, & David for helping with the behind the scenes working of the [ b ] School. I also want to give a shout out to my poker peeps and close friends Regis, Tony, Jessica, Jeff, Tom, Michael, Shaun, Masen, Gary, other Jeff, new Jeff, Curtis, JD and the rest of the crew.

I am thankful for each and every one of my Facebook friends, my twitter followers and the countless number of people who check in on my blog on a regular basis. Thank you all so much for your interest in my life and your attention. You sure know how to make a guy feel like a million bucks.

This year, I also want to thank my good friend Tom Kazarian for allowing me to use his parody of that one song, from that one show on HBO. You can download this song, as well as other original Christmas songs and parodies here. Please enjoy the show... it's about 3.5 minutes long:
