Good morning, merry Christmas! I hope y’all have a great day, and enjoy being with family and friends today. We have a whirl wind day planned. Over to the nursing home for a Christmas lunch with gramma, and then home for a couple of hours to bake a cake, and relax, then it’s off to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner.

The big package of Christmas gifts are somewhere between BC, and who knows where. The estimated date that they’ll arrive, is Monday the 29th. So we’ll have Christmas exchange then. I’ll grab my package, and Crystal’s , then we’ll be able to wrap the gifts, wait 3 minutes, and then we’ll rip the wrapping off

Yay! Destruction!

Well do what we alway do this Christmas, we’ll watch White Christmas, and I’ll silently cry. I don’t look to see if Crystal is crying, because she probably is. We don’t make a big deal out of it. It’s a very cute movie. I enjoy it every year.

So let’s greet the day! Happy Thursday! Merry Christmas my friends. ❤️

I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes, Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows

Good morning my friends. It’s Christmas Day here, and what Christmas presents have arrived, have been opened. I got a kick ass pair of gloves for work, my digits will totes be warm! I got Crystal something that she said she liked in passing, and she loved it, I think.

This morning I tried to buy White Christmas on Amazon, but I don’t think it worked it’s been a while since I’ve bought something online, it’s supposed to be instant right? I ended up purchasing it on YouTube. Instant. We’re watching it now. And of course, I’m (and I’m sure Crystal is a little) emotional. For Crystal, it’s big sweeping visuals and beautiful music, for me – Christmas. I always get emotional when it’s just me and Crystal.

Today will be an action packed day. First stop is at the Lodge to have lunch with Gramma, and to place a FaceTime call to my aunt and uncle in Florida. That should be fun. Then back to the Flat for a little bit, then to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner. I have to wonder if my dad will put on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when we get there. We’ll exchange some presents. The bulk of the presents will arrive a couple of days. It was just timing, and my pay check. I’ll do better.
