We all know this time of the year is special for so many reasons. Brinkley Walser Stoner attorneys, Bradley Hunt and Drew Nelson, share with you some of their favorite things about the holidays.
From Bradley Hunt:
- Favorite holiday movie? Die Hard – some say this is not a Christmas movie, but I consider it one.
2. Favorite holiday song? Merry Christmas from the Family.
3. Share a funny Christmas memory. The very first Christmas I was married to my wife, Carrie, we spent the holiday with her parents in Virginia. I either had food poisoning or the norovirus. Worst 48 hours of my life.
4. What is most important to you about the holidays? Being able to unwind and unplug and spend quality time with my family. The best part, of course, is spending Christmas morning with my two sons. It is nice for about 10 minutes, then total chaos.
From Drew Nelson:
- Share a funny Christmas memory. I snuck into the living room and opened all my presents from Santa when I was eight years old. This happened before my parents woke up. I don’t think they have ever forgiven me.
2. Does your family have a special holiday recipe? My grandad’s famous chocolate peanut butter balls!
3. Would you rather be surprised by a gift or know what you are getting? I would rather be surprised. Who doesn’t love surprises?
4. What is most important to you about the holidays? Being able to take a few days away from the ordinary rush and stress to focus on what is important.

I loved reading Drew’s story about Christmas memories! It sounds like Drew to have slipped to check his presents before his parents got up!!
When I was on the Board of the Salvation Army, many years ago.
I drove to Winston-Salem, NC, to a big warehouse full of used coats.
The coats were in very good condition, and were mostly sized to fit the children.
I must have made three or four trips back and forth, filling my SUV with all those coats which I delivered to the Elementary Schools and the Salvation Army….At one of the schools a young girl came to get her a coat….I will never forget the tears in her eyes as she put the coat on…….You see Sir, Christmas is more than just food and parties, it is about what we do for others…….That was the best Christmas for me…
