Pizza and Rudolph? Not much of a better combo in the world to me. What's your Christmas Eve meal normally look like? I am also planning mine. We pretty much have a list we use so we get the same stuff every year but we alter a few things here and there. Best meal of the year is Christmas Eve dinner for me.

We do a potluck on Christmas eve, just trying to make a list of what everyone is bringing. Christmas day I make a prime rib, and my MIL makes a turkey.

Without seeing the other contenders; I would have given you a ribbon for that festive design!

When I was younger, we exchanged Gingerbread Houses with the family who gave us our dog, Ragmop and we'd bust them open on New Year's Day and dig in!

About six years ago, I found polyresin gingerbread houses that resembled the ones we used to exchange, I bought one for my parents and one for the woman who gave us our dog.

Good evening,

I am here later than I want to be, watching one heck of a Bruins game. One more day until a day off.

I hope you all had a good day.

Goodnight, everyone.

Good Friday Morning MMC! Ahh yes Friday...after that short 3 day work week last week this week did seem a bit longer huh? But there's so much to look forward to that I don't seem to mind going to work these days. I love coming home everyday and lighting my tree while putting on Christmas shows. These weekends before Christmas are precious so I really plan on watching as many Christmas shows as possible. I still need to figure out a few things to get my mom for Christmas but I pretty much finished most of my siblings Christmas shopping. I'm trying to control myself and not go overboard with gifts (but as usual I already have). Eh it's once a year...and it's special and fun.
I hope you all have a great TGIF and think about this Christmas weekend that is about to begin!

I have a handful of Christmas videos on VHS and DVD yet I watch them on TV with the Christmas ads like a merry pro.
I am heading out in a few hours to do more Christmas shopping. I thought I was halfway through my list, alas I have more than half remaining to secure.
I'm not doing gift cards for the older grandchildren this year so it will take more time to be creative in what I choose for them.
My oldest grandson was sworn in as a police officer in Ottawa last Monday and his brother is going through training for his job as a firefighter. Where has the time gone? When did we go from buying and building flip-track roads to wondering what to buy these young men with careers?
Number 2 grandson also tinkers with vehicles, boats, trucks and is a handyman as well so his gift is around his hobby rather than his new job.
My second youngest granddaughter is taking horseback riding lessons and I'm ecstatic about it since I always wanted to do that when I was growing up. I have a beautiful painting of the Pony Club for her that I grabbed up at an auction.
I've got my merry thinking cap on for Number 3 grandson who can tackle any sport with ease and accuracy. He plays like a pro on hockey, soccer and baseball teams.
What I'm getting my parents individually and collectively has yet to be determined. My mom is easy to please, my father never gives any hints and often says, "I don't need anything." Perhaps a new Winnie the Pooh ornament for the tree will be added to his merry package. I grew up with his 100-acre wood mural painting (based on the map in the back of the book) on my bedroom wall. I was eleven or twelve before I let them wallpaper over it.

Stay jolly, everyone!
