VIP Class Notes (Jesse)

Well, it’s finally November, and there are only several weeks left until new year. New year is my favorite holiday, even though everyone says we’re getting old with a new year coming. However, it is an opportunity to say goodbye for all unhappy things in the past year and greet a new year with hope and dreams. New year is my husband’s favorite holiday, too, but for a different reason. He enjoys the three days’ leave.
