HO HO HO!

Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!

The "sleigh" is loaded to the gill with no room for ONE more thing packed and we're on our way this afternoon for two family parties tomorrow. We're doing our Christmas early with the children and grandchildren at a brunch in the morning. Then in the afternoon our whole "crew" will be going to my Mom's for the BIG chaotic fun party for the entire family...and I mean e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e! It's a zoo and that's putting it mildly. It's hard to move or breath or carry on a conversation. Pray for me!

Like Maxine, I drive a convertible. There is NO WAY we could go in my car!! I gripe sometimes about how big George's SUV is. It's a pain trying to climb into it, especially when I wear a skirt or dress, etc. But, thank you Lord, we have an SUV today!


Somehow, we got all this, plus Miss Daisy's crate, our luggage and my laptop packed inside and there's just enough room for the two of us! A Christmas miracle!

Merry Christmas ya'll!
Hugs!

I drive a big 'ol Suburban and love it... for now. Mark has promised me as soon as the kids are out he will get me a convertible (the kids are pressuring him to get mom a black Shelby Mustang, I wonder if they think they will be borrowing it). Although we will probably still need the Suburban for winter driving in Michigan because I like not having to worry about the road conditions when I head out.
Merry Christmas!
Smiles!

I am officially jealous now. Getting to be with your children and grandchildren at both Thanksgiving and Christmas is more than I can imagine. Right now I'm feeling a little blue about our distance-challenged family.

I thought it was only Santa who loaded up his sleigh!
Maybe Miss Daisy needs a cute little Rudolph suit =D

This sounds like so much fun and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!! I have a dog named Daisy and this is her 1st Christmas. :o)

I am going out today to finish my shopping and do all the grocery shopping for Christmas dinner. Well, as soon as I motivate myself which may take a few more hours and another cup of coffee.:o)

Enjoy that big crazy family of yours! Ours will be quiet this year - most of the family is out of town... just me, my husband, daughter and mother-in-law. Maybe we should trade - haha!

Merry Christmas!
