Hello peeps, hope you all had a good Christmas with your love ones and friends.  I know I had a good one, a very memorable one.  Hubby didn’t come back which I have already expected.  So I wasn’t disappointed at all that he was not here.  I was prepared.

I spent my Christmas eve morning digging myself out of the house in the morning.  We had about 7.5 inches of snow.  Shoveled the driveway with the help of the neighbor’s kid doing the end of the driveway with his dad’s kick ass snow blower.  Boy, was I tired after that.  Took about an hour plus nap after that!  By the way, the big boss gave me Christmas eve off coz he said the weather was going to be crappy.  Sweet big boss, always liked him as my boss.  (He was my boss when I first started in with the company.)

That evening I was at my RCIA sponsor’s home for eve dinner with her family.  It was just beautiful.  My first eve dinner with somebody who is not family.   We opened presents and the best one saw was sponsor’s son received a Symbol LS2208 barcode scanner for his side business he operates at home. That was really sweet to see his face light up! So precious!

Christmas day I got up early to take care of the boys and my sister’s FB CafeWorld and also took some winter backyard scene before going back to bed.

Was sleeping through all the text messages sent to me but was waken up by the doorbell at 11:15 a.m.!  Was sleeping for 4+ hours.  The neighbor wife across and her daughter handed me a bag of goodies (cookies galore) and I saw her hubby, her son and the other neighbor doing my driveway.  The Christmas spirit!!!  I was surprise to see them on my driveway.  There was shit load of snow, probably another half a foot or more with drifts, too.

In the afternoon I drove over to another church member’s home for dinner with other members there too.  I didn’t want to go initially, mainly being lazy.  The weather was actually very nice.  The temp was 36 degrees Fahrenheit.  Snow was melting, roads were wet, slushy.  Whatever snow that’s on the driveway are heart attack type of snow – they are wet and damn heavy.

Christmas dinner was with great company.  Wonderful food and chat.
