It doesn’t seem possible but somehow, Christmas 2021 is upon us.

In some ways it feels like another year has gotten away from us, lost in the blur. In other ways it feels like the much anticipated wrap on a season that did its share of dragging on.

Either way, the joy of Christmas shines through as we tune out the distractions which unfortunately comprise much of our daily lives and instead immerse ourselves in those things of real significance which bring meaning to our lives.

Christmas means hope, redemption, possibility, potential and salvation and while it’s undoubtedly an indication of the current stage of my life journey, it seems to stir my soul more and more with every passing year.

Time off from work is nice. Giving and receiving gifts is fun and over indulging in food and drink is a mandatory component of the celebration but what brings me the most joy and anticipation this Christmas is the thought of my family, all together under one roof again, enjoying this time together as we take account of all the ways in which we’ve been blessed this year.

Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year from all of us at Wolf Creek Angler. 2021 was our best season to date and that’s because of you.

It’s easy to get bogged down in the day to day of the season and when I do so I tend to lose focus as I begin to take things for granted and go numb to the amazing opportunities with which I’ve been so richly blessed.

These final days of the year, with Christmas at the center, bring it all back in to focus for me and while I’m not naïve about the challenges we all face on many fronts, I can’t help but step back and consider this life and be profoundly humbled.

This life, this family, this place, these friends, this business and all of the relationships that are a part of it….I am truly blessed beyond measure. Thank you to all of you who make this thing go.

May the peace and joy of Christmas be with all of you this day and throughout the New Year.
