Merry Christmas to all!

My husband is digging our garage out for guests tomorrow. Nine to 20 inches depending on where it drifted, and the top three inches is ice. My daughter is playing happily near the Christmas tree, and I'm taking a break in between batches of cookies (peanut butter and chocolate chip are done, now it's time for peanut butter blossoms - the one with the Hershey's Kiss in the center). Every hour, we visit http://www.noradsanta.org to see how Santa is progressing across the continents.

Tonight, after little eyes are fast asleep, Santa's elves will throw "A Christmas Story" in to watch while we put batteries in everything that needs them. Some day I will actually order THE lamp (http://www.funnytummy.com/christmas/christmas-story-leg-lamp.html), and yes - it will be in our front window with all the other Christmas decorations!. There will be two plates under the tree - one with carrots for the reindeer and one with cookies for Santa (haven't talked my daughter into the cheese plate yet - LOL)

So, we say Merry Christmas to all!
