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.

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.

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.

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."

and families stick together
in all kinds of trouble.
