Merry Christmas...!

More importantly... Happy Birthday Jesus!!! Got a house full coming over today for a little brunch..  Kinda have a Old County Buffet array of food to put together yet with a very messy kitchen to clean up..  Jen, Randy and I had a very nice and quiet evening last night.  We prepared a Prime RIb, garlic potatoes, green beans, ceasar salad and some mini ciabatta rolls.  Felt like we were at the Timberlodge..!!  The best part about it is that it all came from Trader Joes...! Whats your plans for the day?  Hope its a great one with lots of love.   I wish one and all a very Merry CHRISTmas!  May you be blessed today and always!

Ahh, thank you Dana!!! Merry Chistmas to you as well!!!  Our Christmas was last night, we always do the Christmas Eve here at our house for the kids and grandkids and my sisters family. Then today we are driving to Blaine to spend part of the day with his family and we are brigning his Mom down with us.  I hope everyone have a Blessed Christmas and share it with someone you love!!!  CarolN

Merry Christmas!   The kids have opened all the presents I have cleaned up the mess now a day to relax.  We are heading over to WI this afternoon to my sisters for dinner and more presents.  

Thank You Dana for the "Happy Birthday Jesus"....we all can be reminded of the reason for the season. Christmas for me was awesome this year. My children and grandchildren are my most precious gifts!!  Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas too. Hugs, connie d

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!! We just got back from the MIL's near Jackson/Worthington, MN.  Horrible drive home once we passed Owatonna -- glare ice and very slow!!!  Had a great time but always happy to be home!!! Hope everyone had a good one!!!

Hijack!  I grew up in Jackson.  (on a farm near Jackson, actually) Where does MIL live?  Heck we probably know her!  :-)  My mom still lives there.

Hi Dayner Dee, love your entire post!  I just love CHRISTmas and had volunteered to work Christmas eve.   The elderly were so sweet, although the majority went with their families, and I shared special moments with quite a few who had visits, and many who'd be oing for the day yesterday.

 Then'da man and I went to ten p.m. candelight service , came home and put the 'Christmas fireplace' channel on, although avoided the secular music by hitting  the 'mute' and played real cHRISTmas music on  Sirius radio,;   had steak and strimp, and  exchanged our 'simple' gifts.  A very quite cozy night before he got his two sons Christmas morning, and I got picked up late morning  one sister, her hubby, two 'kids' plus one's new spouse.  Our entire family was together for the first time in five years for Christmas, so with the folks down from Brainerd area, four sibs and their four spouses, twelve nieces and nephews ranging from age 38 down to age seven, was very lively and noisy, though so much fun!  Yes' I'm definitely blessed always!  Enjoy the week!  When I was able to work full-time, I just loved the time from Thanksgiving through New Year's;  it goes so fast, then poof!  It's almost spring!  Be blessed, you!  Hugs galore, Patti

A belated Merry Christmas to you, too!  The quiet holidays are the best (unless you are at someone elses house)! Hope to see you at coffee on Saturday - it has been ages!!!
