Another low key Christmas. All the kids home, three by birth, one by marriage plus their first baby, what joy. Once again, the nativity and the ceramic Christmas tree, all that we need to remind us of the meaning of the holiday. Some unlikely characters in our particular scene, but all with meaning. I remember placing the two Polish geese as long as I can remember Christmas.
C surprised me with the biggest bouquet I have ever received. There are still surprises after 30 years. He did mention the comment from the guy behind him at the florist. "Boy, you must have done something really bad."
Considering it's 1:00 am, and Santa has done her job, I'd better go to bed. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Merry Christmas, Li! Blessings of peace to you and your family this holiest of seasons! Enjoy the warmth and love of the children you have lovingly raised, and spoil the grand baby with kisses, hugs and giggles!

The flowers are gorgeous!!! Good job Chuck!! We had a great day at our son's house - they have 2 kids and the youngest is 8 so Barbie was the star of the day. Grandpa Wayne is always asked to make his delicious turkey stuffing so between Chris and Wayne the gys made a great meal!! Still stuffed.Taking it easy today - Chris loaned us his bright yellow VW convertible so we'll take a little spin later on and early dinner. We'll get your condo ready and look forward to seeing you guys again in the spring!!!! Have a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. Love ya Margaret and Wayne
