It's kinda like Cheers - everybody knows our name...

Lets see... on the 16th we are hosting 20 people at our sailboat (and dock) for a party and parade of lights. We'll have ****tails, appetizers, desserts, hot chocolate, etc. and enjoy the parade of boats. On the 17th we travel to Whittier (near L.A.) and celebrate with my best friend and her family then on the 18th we'll drive to San Clemente to my parents to celebrate with my family. On the 23rd we're driving to Palm Springs to celebrate with Tim's family Then home for the holidays! My new kitchen will be done on Dec.23, so I'll be cooking on Christmas! I haven't had a kitchen since August! I am off work from Dec. 22- Jan 3!!

Christmas - I'm hosting this year. I guess it will be fun - at least I have control of the menu! I'm going to try to make a sugar free sweet potatoe pie. Hannukkah - I thought it was over! Kwanzaa - I don't celebrate it. New Years - New Year's Eve church services and Holy Communion. New Year's Day I will probably lay on the couch and watch cheesy Lifetime movies all day and try my best not to graze.

We're stuck here in Virginia Beach this Christmas. Will be the first one we've missed. Both of our families are in Indiana, but due to my husband being in the Navy, we're stationed here. Due to my high risk pregnancy status, not to mention my hernia, my doctors forbid me to travel. We're also moving this weekend, so not sure how much we will have unpacked? Our son will be 7 on Sunday, but is Autistic and doesn't understand the holiday. He loves the colorful wrapping paper, but won't open presents, and actually gets upset if we tear the paper off, so we don't usually wrap his. He loves the lights, however, so we got him a small, maybe 2 ft, fiberoptic tree. No decorations. He just like to watch the lights change. I'm not sure yet if my husband has to work or not. I might make a small turkey or a breast, or something, but that's about it. We'll watch TV, more than likely. Gonna be kinda of a sorry Christmas for us this year. Haven't seen family since Christmas of last year, either. Will be this summer before we're about to go home for a visit.

12/15/05 - My son's Christmas party at school. 12/16/05 - My daughter's Christmas party at school. 12/22/05 - Traveling to Faulkier County to spend Christmas up there with my brother.
