Same to you, Hoots. I'm the only one awake hoping to catch Santa sipping the glass of milk we left for him.
Merry Christmas.
Ah Fred, how I wish we were waiting for Santa here.
Bask in the joy of having the laughter of children in your home.
Me and the Hub watched It's a Wonderful Life and opened our gifts. Cooked all day, heading north tomorrow to spend the day with the kids, adult kids and the ex...should be interesting.
Joyous Christmas to you too my friend.
