**Thursday #297 Remembering Our Blessings**

[Karen]

Too many blessings to list or to count, among them getting to met Miss Ola Marie Morrison at tonight's Christmas Eve service. She's my friend's baby, born just two weeks and two days ago, and had a pretty dress her grandma gave her for her first Christmas.

Family, friends, and all of you! And many more blessings ...

I'll have some not-spiked eggnog, please! And DJFyrewolf36, sending you some hugs and favorite carols, sung a cappella so not elevator music like! Your blessings include your sweet little boy!

Who ate the Christmas Chicken!

Was Santa already here?!?!?!

[Killearn Kitties]

Santa's been!!! He's filled all the stockings hanging up by the fire (just as well really, since he's eaten all the chicken).

Look! Even the little orange kitty has a bulging stocking.

[Lady's Human]

The Christmas chicken isn't actually chicken.

It's a silly gingerbread cookie shaped and decorated like a chicken.

The Mayor would probably do a better job explaining it than me, though there isn't much of an explanation.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh, phew! So we still have some Christmas dinner then? That's a relief. I'd hate to think there would be nothing left by the time everybody wakes up. They might suspect we'd eaten it all.

Speaking of which, Blueberry stuffed french toast and coffee, anyone?

LH, I'll have some french toast and coffee! I just saw Orc's stocking. It looked like he wished for a junkyard! A possible Mrs. Orc?? His industrial strength stocking is definitely filled!

[RICHARD]

I have a go at one of everything.

It was a quiet rainy day...appropriate considering.....


Merry Christmas to all and to all......Let's have a drink?


Done?
