Day Twenty Five…

and it is Christmas!  Happy Birthday Jesus!

Yesterday was a wonderful day for me!  My kids together with me at one time.  It doesn’t happen very often.  Actually this was the first time we had all opened presents together since before Jim died.  The food was good and the kids all took home most of the leftovers.  I didn’t keep any ham as it is a big NO NO for me.  So what was left of a 14 lb spiral sliced ham was divided among them.  I kept turkey and a little bit of other stuff.  Today I am eating  a big turkey sandwich for my Christmas lunch.

I actually received a big Christmas edition of the Peoria Journal Star this morning.  I didn’t know they published on Christmas.  They didn’t last year.  They must not want to miss out on the Sunday ads.

It is an absolutely beautiful day checking in with bright sunshine and 34 degrees.  Much different than last year when we had 8 inches of snow for Christmas.  I hope the weather stays like this all year long.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Day.  Do stay safe and be happy!!

Day Twenty Four…

and it is Christmas Eve.  I am in the midst of last minute things.  Yesterday I spent all day in the kitchen.  The turkey and ham are cooked, also a pie and lemon cream cheese bars.  I still have the last minute things to go in the oven but other than that, I am pretty well organized.  I have the presents all ready which I have been buying since last summer. 

The bag that says let it snow is filled with gifts for my son and the other bag is filled with gifts for my daughter and SIL.  Those huge bags are available at Deals for $1 and they hold a ton of stuff.

I hope during the hustle and bustle of the shopping and goodie making that we are not forgetting that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus.

I hope you all have a Blessed Christmas weekend.  Merry Christmas to you all!

Love,

Beth
