Holiday Time, According to Mr. Lewis

Holiday time means something different to each
individual.  To me, holiday time means joy
because I cherish being with my family, playing
with friends, and having time on my own.

Joy with My Family

• I find joy being with my family during holidays
  because I love my family.

Joy with My Family (continued)

• Another member of my family is Riley, my dog.
  During the holidays, I enjoy playing with her,
  but if the truth be known, I play with her all of
  the time when I am home.

Joy with Friends

• Holiday time brings me joy because I like being
  with my friends. One thing that my friends and I
  like doing is playing music.

Here are my friends (with me), playing music at
Valley Plaza during summer break 2001.

Joy with Friends (continued)

• My friends and I do crazy things. Here is a
  photo of Kenny and me during Halloween. We
  usually find fun in whatever we do.

I am really sticking my hand through Kennys
head, really.

Joy on My Own

• Holiday time also gives me time to do things on
  my own. I find pleasure in writing music, being
  online, recording music, taking care of my home,
  golfing, riding my mountain bike, and walking on
  the beach.

I enjoy walking on the beach. Here is a photo of
Laguna Beach that I took on my honeymoon in 2001.

Joy on My Own (continued)

• Riding my mountain bike brings me joy. I like to
  get out in the hills and tackle the dirt.
  Usually, the dirt wins.

Holiday Time Brings Me Joy

• All in all, holiday time brings me happiness
  because it is during holidays that I can spend
  quality time with my wife and children, visit
  with my friends, and find solitude on my own. I
  love holiday time.
