On behalf of Brian Lohnes, Chad Reynolds, myself, our families and our BangShift.com sponsors, we would like to wish all of our friends and you, our readers, a very Merry Christmas today. We are going to be spending this day with our loved ones and we encourage you to do the same…today is the day to eat, drink, be merry, and maybe have just one more drink as the kids play with their new toys and the adults relax and watch the fun. We hope that several boxes under the tree had your name on the tag, and were filled with what you were hoping for (you did ask Santa for car parts and that new tool set, didn’t you?) and hey…if there was a very merry set of tire marks out front of the house, just blame it on Saint Nick…that old man is in a hurry anyways!

A special shout-out goes out to those in the Armed Services who are currently spending the holiday with their “second family” and not at home. I’ve been there and done it myself, and both Brian and Chad understand what that entails. Be sure to make that phone call, FaceTime or whatever you can do, and celebrate with the folks to your left and right…it might not be home, but it’s a good second place.

Eat, drink, be merry, enjoy the day, and if you got something good, be sure to share it with us!
