![]() I wasn't able to come here to tell you all what happened, and I so much wanted to. I wanted to post my Christmas eve and Christmas greetings too, and couldn't. So I'm just going to post them now and then tell you all what happened!  This is what I wanted to post on Christmas eve:
![]() ![]()
And that's what the snow looked like too. Plus, it was really, really, cold!  I made tons of Christmas cookies that day and then when I went to deliver them to my neighbors, I couldn't! I got as far as the end of our driveway, and had already almost fallen twice, plus, I was freezing as it was 8 below 0 which high winds. That's also what caused there to be a lot of ice, which is what made me almost fall. So I went back inside and figured I'd deliver them the next day.
and then that night I wanted to say:
But, I couldn't because right after I fixed dinner, when I went to wash the dishes, I couldn't! We had water a half hour earlier, but because it got so cold so fast, our pipes froze! So the rest of the evening was spent trying to thaw them out, and get the rest of the presents wrapped and put under the tree.
And this is what I wanted to share on Christmas day:
I hope you each had the best Christmas ever! Ours was hectic, but it was wonderful too!
Bruce had to run to Jaffrey (a town 20 minutes away) to our son Christopher's house, to pick up a propane heater to thaw our our pipes. So he baked some pies and then got the heater and got that going. I got the turkey and everything else going and did all the last minute things I had to do to get things ready for our day. The pipes thawed and I quickly got all the dishes washed and cleaned up. Bruce went back to Jaffrey to pick up Christopher and bring him home, just as Jennifer and her family got here. Grace and Elijah could hardly wait to dig into their presents but we told them they had to wait for Grandpa to get back with Chis. About the time when Bruce would have been getting to Chris' house, they asked if they could just look at their stockings LOL. But no....not till Grandpa's back! I think that was the longest 40 minutes ever!  But they finally arrived and by the time they had their coats off, the kids had grabbed their stockings!  There was no stopping them now! Then came everyone's presents. I think there was 7 presents for each person, so that took awhile. We've always had the kids take turns opening presents. Only one person at a time could open a gift, then it was the next persons turn, etc. That way we could all enjoy each gift everyone got. Everyone loved their gifts. I can't wait to show you what one of mine was! Oh well, I'll just describe it. It's a long sleeve tshirt that says, Created by God, Powered by Jesus! It's awesome!
Anyway, by then, dinner was ready and we all ate, next, after we'd washed the dishes and divided up all the leftovers between Jennifer and Christopher, it was time for pie! and then we finally got around to making or rather trying to make a Christmas village out of gingerbread. What a mess! After we cleaned that up, it was time for everyone to go home.
Poor Bruce had to drive Christ home. When he got back, he did what I had already started doing.... we both just collapsed and dozed off and on till we could go to bed. It was great!
Then, we finally get to today LOL:
And that's pretty much how we still feel! But now I have to go do chores. I hope your days have been as good as ours!

Cindy, glad you had a lovely Christmas with family. That artic cold is really cold, to bad you were not able to visit neighbors with your baked cookies, I have seen videos, it is to cold to be outdoors. It is nice weather here where I am, today I wore summer clothes outdoors, no coat. I saw a video a man had where he drove the streets in Ohio and had what I think he said was a buffalo scanner that was playing, so many calls for help continually, people having difficulty breathing, semi trucks blocking intersections, cars unable to move...
Kelly, I like tamales, a store here sells them and they are shipped in from CA, they sell quickly, don't know the name as I repackaged them in ziplocks.

That's amazing Marlene. I hadn't heard about that, but then I haven't had a chance to watch the news at all anyway. I can't imagine wearing summer clothes now lol. I hope your Christmas was wonderful too!
It sounds like you and your family had a good Christmas too Kelly!
Unfortunately I have to run today. But I'll try to get back here later. Not sure if I'll be able to though.

The Christmas time was a blessed time as I spent many hours reading the Bible, the book of Psalms right now.
My neighbor dogs visited 3 large dogs one malamute Alaska sled dog a bubbly happy dog and two boxer type sisters and to lead them out of the gate to get the gate closed, led out with food held over my head, that black and white dog I showed picture of, she jumped at me like a football player and body slammed me, almost got the food, difficult to get large dogs to do what I want them to do, my dog is a medium size dog, but those large dogs... lol
