Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas. I have just one more present to wrap, then some veggies to cut up for a veggie platter, and I think I'm done. oh, and a couple of loads of laundry, oh, and I have to get ready to fly down to Texas for my brother's wedding on Saturday. My Idaho brother is driving here as we speak and he'll be house-sitting for us.

I don't have a single Christmas that really seems to stand out. I do remember the general excitement and anticipation of the big day. I can remember my mom planning on entertaining the aunts and uncles and cousins. I can remember making hors-dourves with cheese-whiz and ritz crackers - did those ever seem high class .

A spanish coffee sounds great right about now. I need to be at my brother's house in a few hours and that would do the trick.

Merry Christmas everyone - peace and goodwill to you and your familes and your fur and feather kids.
