Spizeech Fo My Mama Dukes

First and foremost I would like to thank everybody for making it here. This past year has been one for the books. We have had a mixture of good times and bad times. We have faced hardships that may have shaken the ground we have walked upon. But the fact that we are still standing together, is evidence that we are all strong enough to keep on fighting the fight. Today marks a day in which we celebrate not only the spirit of Christmas, but the spirit of life. At this point in time, we may not have all the diamonds, jewels and material possessions that we wish to obtain, but it is within these times that we find the truest gifts that we could ever ask for. I have realized that although I may not be a millionaire, I have my family, my friends, and my good health. For it is with these priceless treasures, that we stay rich, maybe not within our wallets, but within our souls. We spend today under the heavens and let us are reminded that the best things in life truly are free. I would like to welcome everybody into my home and I hope that you enjoy the time we spend together and that when it is time to say goodbye, you leave with love and faith within your hearts, and great food within your bellies. I would like to thank you again for making the trip here. I cherish everybody’s presence and I would like to dedicate this night, to our yesterdays, yesteryears, and to the tomorrows that we have ahead of us to paint with the vibrant colors of life’s paintbrush on destiny’s canvas. Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and let us celebrate love, life and happiness. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have shared with all of us. Amen
