Christmas Time is Here

The Holidays are only a few days away now. The last minute shopping will happen this weekend. The schedules, post-its and shopping advertisements cover the counter tops! The chocolate chips and sugar cookie decorations are ready and waiting. This year we have had many blessings!
The biggest is of course our new home. A place to hang our hats! Most of you have been to our house and know that it is perfect for us. It's warm and cozy and just the right size for our little family. Well, the pets are another thing! We realize though how fortunate we are to have this place, to have each other. I'll have to admit that the holidays have come really fast this year. We all say that every year, but it feels like it now.
The great delight is that I have the week of Christmas and the week after as a work holiday. I only had to take two days vacation and that is SWEET! Mike will also have the two weeks off but it is because he get laid off work during that time. Not to worry though, we will be okay because of his vacation and holiday pay. Our Family Christmas will be at UJ's this year. I like that idea because now Mike and I and the others who have helped over the years, don't have to work! Mom won't have to bring her Nutcrackers, Garland and table cloths either. We can now walk in, take our seat, eat and order a glass of wine and play games. Sam is looking forward to showing off her new Christmas outfit and Jennifer Aniston hair! It's all about the dress and hair!! I learned this after Pig Skin. Well, of course Mom (Sandy) hasn't bought anything for herself to wear this year. It may be that I am too fat now. Which sucks because I can't ever remember being fat, only when I had Sam but that doesn't count.Mike, Randy, Ron and I will be performing Christmas carols at Emanuel Lutheran on Christmas Eve.


It felt really good to be back at Church but we still miss Pastor Bill. Our practice went really well, after a few outbursts from Mike but not too bad. I thought my voice held up pretty good after a year of not using the singing vocals chords!! If you want to come and share the moment on this joyous occasions, please feel free.

Well, we are looking forward to a peaceful new year! We pray for our children and families. We pray we always keep God close to our hearts! We pray for our troops and our President that our future may be brighter, One Nation, Under God.Peace to all and many blessings,Our love to you at Christmas, Mike, Sandy, Samantha and Jaden
