Merry Christmas to everyone! Safe travels for all traveling. We're having the kids over tomorrow for our Christmas dinner and gift exchange. We're scaling down this year due to illness but we'll be together and that is what counts for me. Looking forward to family time.

I hope everyone has the holiday they wish for. :watchsanta:

Oh gosh sorry Pam. Hope the antibiotics kick in fast. Glad you have help at home.


Marianne safe travels.


We already did our Christmas on Thursday with our whole little family. My brother, SIL and niece along with step daughter, son-in-Law and the 2 grands plus Charley’s GF Jess of course here at our home. Present opening was insane and wonderful. Now we cruise through today and tomorrow. I like this. Charley is off to Jess’ family for Eve celebration and Bob and I will have a quiet time here.

I wish you all a very safe and Happy Christmas. Holiday hugs to you all, dear friends!

Christmas has started for us with extended family; dinner here yesterday with Rebecca's Dad's family, open house tonight at their place. Tomorrow morning we'll see what Santa brought and have present here, then head to Toronto for dinner with my family.

Wishing everyone safe travels and a happy, healthy Christmas filled with joy and good things to eat!

Merry Christmas to all. :D

Greg, son Dan and I just finished our Christmas Eve tradition dinner of homemade pierogi... Whew, lots of work.

We are a small contingent of our family, we make up for it food wise. :lol:

Take care all, safe travels.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday wishes to you, and yours.

That sounds a lot like us tomorrow night...the three of us. And that makes up our family most of the time for holidays.

Happy it seems that Greg is doing well. Merry Christmas!

Farley...Yep, the 3 of us this year. Dan and I may go to Chicago to visit my sister on Tuesday, if the snow cooperates.
Greg is doing very well, thanks. The 28th marks 100 days post transplant. Bone marrow test the other day, bone density and pulmonary function tests next week.
Hoping for good results all around.
Merry Christmas to you as well.

LOL Marianne. Sure you can come next year. We make potato/cheese and sauerkraut versions. Next time I want to make plum, like my grandmother used to.

Merry Christmas from AZ, it’s supposed to reach 75 today. Oldest granddaughter is here and my daughter and her family from Glendale are here. We are having the traditional turkey, ham, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pies, apple crisp, cherry cheesecake rolls and relish tray. It’s hot in the house and we have been discussing turning the AC on!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Mike and I spent the weekend at Peggy's and did Christmas there. He's shorthanded at the fire station so we're home today. First Christmas day at home since before we got married. Not doing anything exciting though. LOL
I got lots of fun goodies for Christmas. And Mike got me a new Canon DSLR Camera!! Lots to learn and I'm super excited!!

Hope everyone's having a great day!

Wow what a thoughtful gift! You’re going to have a lot of fun with that I am sure.

Today is a quiet day with just the 3 of us. This is a good thing. An easy supper tonight (though I don’t know yet what that is, LOL) and probably a movie for us to watch together. Maybe some Scrabble too.
