Christmas Events

Well, Christmas is over! It has gone by so quickly. This year was very relaxed and fun. Having Christmas day fall on a Tuesday allowed for more celebrations over the weekend, so a more relaxed, less hurried feel. It seemed that every gathering we attended, the guests seemed to linger over dessert and tea or coffee and good conversation. It was uplifting and refreshing. Here are some things I learned this Christmas:
1. Asking every family who comes to bring a dish makes for LOTS of food and plenty leftovers.( saying such with turkey spilling out of mouth)
2. Flavored tea is fun to drink with someone who has never tried it before (Waving at Kim emphatically)
3. A trampoline is easier to put together than a ping pong table (learned this vicariously through Marc-trampoline installer- and Marc, Dean and Terry-Ping Pong table assemblers!)
4. Kids can open presents faster than you can say supercalifragilistic.......you get the picture!
5. My house is TINY when you crowd close to 40 people in it.
6 Watch your 2 year old niece VERY CLOSELY when she is visiting.(Saying this while STILL drying up the water in the hall from the major flood that was created when said niece washed her hands in the bathroom sink and left the water running. )
7. Your Bathroom and hall can flood very quickly and stealthily when someone leaves the water running in the sink.

OK, the last two I learned the day after Christmas but I 'm counting them as part of my Christmas education anyway.

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and intend to make next year worth living.
