We had a blessing for Christmas. We had all of our family home, we were happy, and we had fun. Santa didn't get into bed until late for a couple of reasons. #1) She was putting out presents around the tree that she waited AGAIN, until the last minute to wrap. #2) She was trying to figure out how to keep the stockings from getting too hot above the fireplace and not melting the chocolate inside. #3) She was busy watching the models on the computer to see if it was really going to snow! Snow in the south in the winter is hard enough to get, but this was even harder. It was like threading a needle and it had to be just right. I woke up Christmas morning and it was indeed snowing. All day long, from tiny snowflakes to big ones, slow meandering flakes to fast and furious coming down. As I got the turkey ready to roast, cleaned up the mess in the living room from opening the gifts and calling friends and family, I marvelled at just how beautiful it was. Amber, Brian, and Patrick went into town to Waffle House and had a supper there because, as they put it, "We were starving!", then they got home just as supper was being served. Of course Brian had to park a couple of houses up from us because he couldn't get into the driveway and back out again! Again, 4 wheel drive came in handy!
I think Hurricane was a little upset because all of her toys were chewed up!
