By Jerry Askin  Dozens of local families spent their first Christmas in a brand new home.�  Many lost their homes back on March�  2nd --- when tornadoes ripped through several parts of our viewing area.It's kind of like a death. Only time heals things, and that's kind of how I can consider that tornado that destroyed our home, says storm survivor Curtis Yancey.We first interviewed Curtis Yancey back in March of this year -- only days after his home was destroyed and he lost everything. We can't do it by ourselves.....the more help we get, the better all of us are, says Yancey.Now, he and his family tried their best to enjoy Christmas, after moving in just 2 days before. We really hadn't planned on doing much for Christmas.�
