Merry Christmas Everyone!  Well, it is finally here.  We are going to our daughter’s house today for a beautiful Christmas dinner and I am sending out Christmas cheer to everyone.  I know that the reports for travel are not great but then I don’t remember a Christmas time here in Upstate New York that they were any different.

My husband and I opened the gifts we got each other last night and discussed the new TV we plan to purchase after the holidays (our gift to each other) a nice big flat screen HDTV.

Now, it is time to finish up the wrapping for the kids today and get things packed up and ready to go.   I do not like to get out in the weather when it is bad but we have a pretty good forcast for today.   We are supposed to get a storm in on the overnight but we will be home by then and in bed.    Hubby got me a wireless mouse to use on my laptop.  I love it too.  I spend so much time on my laptop that it is really a great little toy.

Well, here’s wishing all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!  I hope it is a safe and happy holiday for all.  God bless the Men and Women in the armed forces and their families.
