🎄🎄🎄🎄The Christmas Sprit of fun

I went to town early this morning to do some last-minute Christmas Shopping. I took my sister-in-law so she could do her last-minute shopping and not have to drive in this crazy Christmas traffic. We went to Wal-mart, Walgreens, Regency Square Mall, the Blue Door, YMCA and ate lunch at Chick-fil-A. Stopped at Foodland for a buttermilk pie for my Christmas brunch for tomorrow and all before 1P.M. All Done!!!!!!!!!! with one to wrap.

Buttermilk Pie after party on Saturday

When my husband arrived home from work we rode to town, to meet friends at Flo-Bama, where we enjoyed an appetizer of fried mushrooms, followed by hamburgers and hotdogs.

We sat with friends, one was dressed as Santa Clause.

There were people coming up to him having their picture made with him and children telling him what they wanted for Christmas.

The man stooped in front of my friend she was afraid his bottom might go off!!!!!!!

We all enjoyed listening to the Kerry Gilbert band play a variety of songs including Tie the Knot, Kaw-Liga, several different Christmas Songs, with Hugh putting a chimney hat over his head. You just have to watch them live to get the full impact of how funny and how great they sound.

We had to leave at 9 P.M. my husband has to work tomorrow, he drives an hour and a half to work every day, so he has to be in bed by ten.

We were home in time for him to watch a little TV and then off to bed. I actually slept all night long without coughing.

The next day Saturday, December 20:

Christmas Party today at Laura's with Stella, Phoebe, and Megen. 

We had more food than we all could possibly eat.

We had pecan pie, buttermilk pie, pretzels topped with pecans and roles. 

We ate chips, chicken salad sandwiches made with croissant grapes, sun-drop cake, cheeseball with chips and macaroni salad, lots of more sweets. 

Leftovers for my husband's dinner
Potato Cake (eaten on Hanukkah)

We did a dirty Santa gift swap. 

My Dirty Santa Gift
We sat around telling stores, Megen had us in stitches. She told stories that were not so funny, like the time her trailer burned to the ground.

We had a great time. 

Merry Christmas to all my friends from bible class.

Phoebe gave everyone a picture of her dog, a bookmark and a book that she signed. The book was written by Rick Warren "The Purpose of Christmas."

Make yourself familiar with angels

The Purpose of Christmas

Friends love through all kinds of weather,

and families stick together

in all kinds of trouble.

Proverbs 17:17
