When Diane’s SONG OF THE DAY came across this morning, I listened to it, got up and went to the bathroom, re-heated my rice bag, and crawled back in bed and read for an hour! Didn’t have to hurry for anything! My Christmas present to myself.
After a shower and breakfast, I mixed up brownies – special request for dessert at Nate’s tonight. I washed up the dishes and they were messy with chocolate, and when I went downstairs to throw the kitchen towels in the laundry basket — the drain had backed up again! And it was still overflowing. It wasn’t going down at all. I was so upset. It took an hour before it soaked down the drain to a normal level. I cleaned everything up but was nervous about running water.
I did finally get brave enough to flush the downstairs toilet – and thankfully it didn’t back up. I can’t WAIT for the plumber to get back here tomorrow. But I suddenly remembered that Ron had left me a small Peanuts gift bag to open today, so I did that. It was a lovely little angel ornament and a candle. I really love the candle. So that cheered me up at least. It’s been a very weird and difficult holiday – as I mentioned yesterday!
But I watched an old black & white version of Christmas in Connecticut before heading down to Nate’s. Jen made a wonderful supper – so much food! I couldn’t even taste everything that she had! The kids chipped in (but Chrissy came up with the idea and did the ordering) to get me a blanket. It has the five grand-kids’ names and their birth-month flower on it. It was a teary moment!
We took a lot of photos – so here are pictures of Christmas Day at Nathan and Jen’s!!
He’s holding on to my necklace!

Quote:
TOMORROW December 26th is:
National Whiners Day; National Thank You Note Day; National Candy Cane Day; Boxing Day.
Tomorrow is a full moon – the Christmas Moon. Maybe it will be like A TIMELESS CHRISTMAS (It’s a book and a movie) and travel forward in time 100 years! For me, tomorrow is back to work and hopefully plumber day! God bless…
