That has always started my Christmas Eve. Don't know if it was a Tucker or a Wilkins tradition but it became a West tradition.
So --- Christmas Eve Gift! Atcha!
Woke this morning eager to get out of bed. Not for any other reason than it hurt to stay in it. That, more than any other 'Age' issue troubles me. I used to be able to sleep for 12 or 14 hours uninterrupted no sweat. Now 7 with at least one pit stop in the middle.
Anywho -- When I got downstairs there remained 6 sleeping teenagers in the living room. The remains of Leland's Christmas gathering (Party is not a usable word). Brendan returned from his Christmas visit home last night & had to get to work by 9 AM. he usually goes in around 3 PM but today being Christmas Eve he gets off at 6PM and can be at church and here with us. To cool.
There's a bug in most apples or so it seems & the one in Brendans' this morning was the Ice storm that had been going on since the wee hours of the morning. Our road is a lane and a quarter wide dirt so after the first snow fall is usually difficult to travel to say the least. Add ice and Yippie! He made it out OK and there has been a coating of cinders applied since so gettin in n out will be easier.
Jacci has the day off & I'm taking one too. I'm going to put on a pot of Chili to slow cook. We'll go to the church for the Christmas pageant at 5 come home eat the Chili and go back to the church at 8 for the Candle Light/Communion service return and await the arrival of Santa.

Keelin practiced her Merry Christmas 4 times before she would talk to you on the phone earlier. We had a lovely evening, but we missed you and yours.
