While Linda was at the health club working out, I put lights out for the birds, along the back bushes. From the park at night, the house seemed to twinkle! We got things ready for Christmas, busy for two lazy flickers: prepped the pork, got the Boy Scout teams together to put out the luminary display at the church (a 1st for them) by driving a bus-load of candles and milk bottles into the car-packed church lot to off-load and then parking the bus in front of the house (not blocking the sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer), and going over to the 11:00 service for memories and fellowship.
We talked to Ben as he fed Pook, hearing of plans for California Christmas with the Sullivans all and Ellen too. And we heard from Andy and T as they were in San Jose toasting champagne and welcoming in the friendship of Christmas with Lynn and Doug.
For us, a late night, an enjoyable time walking the dog before all of us to bed at 1 am. (And no sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer. But then, with mama in her kerchief and I in my cap and all settled down for a long winter's nap, out on the lawn there arose such a clatter that I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter....)
