cant wait
Can't wait for the house to be filled with family !! Can't wait to feed them all and clean up... Can't wait to see my grandchildren enjoying the happiness of the holidays... Can't wait for all of it !!!! Maybe someday you can put joy in your heart to look past all that. After all this is CHRISTMAS !!

As exhausting as it is....I LOVE it! I have a large extended family (4 sisters and their families) and we are very close. I thouroughly enjoy the time we spend together. Even better, my oldest sister is hosting Christmas Day at her house even though it's my turn. She felt sorry for me because I'm so busy at this time of the year....now that's love

My boys do their own thing at Christmas one owns a business in Branson Missouri and I'm certain he will go to the office today. The other runs the shop now and he is going to south Texas to see wifes family.
Told him if a funeral comes in...I get to keep alll the money. Ha! Me and Pa are enjoying quiet time, with the kitties, dogs, doves and cows.
My favorite thingabout Christmas is decorating our two very large windows at the shop for the kids, and the big kids who remember driving around looking at lights.
One window is a livingroom scene with fireplace, life size talking santa, tree, animated dog tearing apart a package, etc. That window comes apart easily, but the other is a snow scene. Oh my.....
Hill all covered in snow and snow flakes (irredescent and plain) with sleds and snow people on them, and big snowmen, snow covered trees. BAD part. dismantling that one. Shaking all the snow out of the trees and off the people and bagging the cotton underlayment and everything up.
Hope you all enjoy your day.

up at 6:30, over to grandkids (watched as the 11 year old found out she's going to a Taylor Swift concert in June....quite the screeching there). Got fed wooden food from the 4 almost 5 yr olds new kitchen... Then off to home at 9 for hubby to cook breakfast for youngest daughter and hubby who came home (with fresh eggs in tow). Oldest and the 3 grandkids show up, open gifts...prepare the cheese and celery apps, youngest makes the Kiss Pudding for dessert, I prep the ham, carrots and baked potatoes. Dinner at 4 when oldest's hubby gets here from work and so youngest can get back to Portland (3 1/2 hr drive) to go to work at 11 PM....... grand kitties have gone back with the grand husky to Portland (had the kitties for 3 nights...love the purring)...
Oldest and kiddos go home for a long deserved bedtime.... I clean up....
Love it.........
Now if I could just figure out what has my 8 year old lab paranoid regarding the laundry room, pacing and panting, I'd be a happy camper.

it seems sometimes the business we are in just sucks the life and enjoyment out of the holiday. Trying to fit decorating everyone else's house,shopping for gifts and working long hours can give us all a bah hum bug attitude. BUT...sitting here tonite in the quiet,I find myself filled with the joy of the season. Thankful that my life is a busy one and I have survived another holiday, that my employees have had a paycheck all year and I can look forward to another year. Merry Christmas to everyone and I send wishes of a peaceful and busy year for all of us......Lizzie ann

Got the best Christmas imaginable. Dad (82 yrs old) was told last week that he was in danger of medical issue (could become a quadrapolegic). Was admitted with urgency on Monday (to hospital), had surgery yesterday on tumor in upper spine. He was able to join us for Christmas dinner tonight. He was discharged at 4pm today. Merry Christmas!
No gift compared to this one.

Happy Holidays everyone enjoy your extra days off-I am-our kids have gone to play with the horses and ski-doo and we get to look after our 2-month old granddaughter!....I understand all of your comments-and have experienced most of them
-last week I had the PRIVILAGE to create a couple of graveside pcs-to make something for someone in hosp, who broke her hip and at 80plus has never missed a xmas-and to put together a gift for this guy's wife(they had lost their home and everything in it, in a fire 4 months ago) He saw a sign "It's a Wonderful life" and because it was their favorite movie-found a copy....we wrote out the card together....."even though it's been a heck of a year,because we went through it together-It's still a Wonderful Life."...........My Christmas was fab even though the smoke alarm interupted my christmas nap........I LOVE CHRISTMAS AND EVERYTHING IT BRINGS ME!
Our cooler did this flash freeze thing-roses were beautiful frozen!!!
Yes we lost-but it was the day before our xmas order came in (not the day after!)
AND our debit machine died for 2 days! CAN YOU IMAGINE! we live in a small town thank god I know almost everyone -I was very thankful It was up and running by the 23rd...you don't know what you have til it's gone!
ANYWAY HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY REST....and my advice...... KAHLUA HELPS!!!!!!

We talk a lot about tradition this time of year, but as much as we love our traditions, sometimes our best memories come from the times that are most untraditional. Well for me this was the year that tradition just got a lot bigger.

Quiet time at Christmas? Can't imagine a more depressing scenario. I want noise. I want lots of kids around ripping into presents, old people whining about their ailments, a couple of relatives drinking too much, most of us eating too much and above all--being together with people you care about.
