Now is the time of year that we think about friends and family the most. As I reflect on growing up in Nebraska, the thing I think about most often is the wonderful people who live here.

Whether farm or city, Nebraska (and Midwest) people are some of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever hope to meet. They work hard, they play hard, and they genuinely care about their neighbors.

During this holiday season, remember to think about those you love and care for, as well as those who have to do without. Remember…Santa and The Waffleman are watching!
