Ok,  this White Christmas stuff is going to extremes.    Last night I spent extra time out just trying to decide where to move the snow to!  The road and driveway are already getting narrower, and I can’t get it higher with the plow.  And my snowblower gear box went out when I was trying to dig into some piles.  After I was so proud I rebuilt it a year ago.  So it made it through last winter and part of this one.  I’ll pull it apart again and take a look,  AFTER the holidays.  So it is snowing now and I’ll clean the driveway one more time this afternoon before we leave for Milwaukee.

Then down by Mom this evening to make supper and open a few gifts. And tonight our annual St Sebastian midnight mass (at 10).  Tomorrow to brother and sister in law for a relaxing Christmas.  Then Friday afternoon Chris MJ and I head out to Florida.  I seem to look forward to those trips more and more.  Could it be because it will be below zero again here tonight?   MJ will stay a few days and get home for New Years Eve.  Chris and I will be down until January 6th.   Probably one of the longest trips we have ever done.   I just hope to lie out in some warm sunshine and soak it up.

To all we wish a very Merry Christmas.  May Santa fill your stockings and may the Lord continue to bless you.   He has given us much to be thankful for, including good friends and family.
