Christmas Vacation

This Christmas holiday has been good, for the most part. Well, if you overlook the fact that nearly all of us got sick during the vacation its been good. Schwartzbeere was sick just before the school vacation started but swears it wasn't what the rest of us got. I guess he doesn't want to get blamed for bringing it into the house. Can't say as I blame him. But if it wasn't him then it was me. Anyway, wherever it came from, we got sick. Be that as it may, it was still a good holiday. I had to go in one day because I ran out of vacation time but that wasn't bad. Its usually very quiet between Christmas and New Years. And by the time I went in I was feeling better enough that it wasn't so bad. 

So Christmas morning we got to sleep in later than the kids used to let us. This year it was just the kids who still live at home that were here. The rest were off doing their own thing or visiting the other side of their families for Christmas. Got to share, I guess. So we got up around 7:30 am and opened presents. With just the few of us it didn't take all morning like it has some Christmas mornings.

Everyone got stuff that made them smile.  Then there was goodies the rest of the day.  Food on Christmas at our house is "do-it-yourself".  Plenty of stuff, healthy and otherwise, to choose from but you're on your own.

 

Because we were all sick at one time or the other we really didn't go out and "do" anything.  Just stayed around the house.  We got a few new movies for Christmas so we watched a bunch of those, played games and just talked.  Actually, it was all kind of nice.

 

And Mr Hobbs nailed it again.  Snow; a white Christmas.  You just can't beat a good, reliable weather pig. He is in this picture, just kind of hard to see.
