My m-i-l got snowed in, so for the first time in several years it's just our family for Christmas.  She'll be coming in on the 28th and staying until New Years.  We're saving the presents to and from her to be opened when she arrives and we're holding off on making the sugar cookies to decorate until she gets here as well.  That's one of her favorite parts of the holiday.  And It's not like we're suffering the lack of cookies.  I've made six dozen today as well as a batch of fudge.  We've got peanut butter kiss cookies, gingerbread men, and coconut macaroons.  As well as banana bread.  I'm still deciding whether or not to attempt divinity.  I expect that I may make another batch of Mexican Wedding Cookies before all is said and done as well.

We're heading out soon to do our traditional drive to look at lights while singing carols.  Then it will be back home for the reading of the first Christmas from Luke, hot chocolate, and the viewing of "A Christmas Story".  Then the kids will get to open one gift before heading to bed in preparation for Santa's arrival.  It's nice that we still have people who believe in Santa at our house.

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful holiday.  Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates and may wonderful gifts await you.
