2008 Christmas



Merry Christmas everybody.

Anne & Jerry, Kathy & John, Mom and I did the traditional Christmas eve family thing in Jackson. I got to cook the ham, tortellini, ham/potato & corn chowder, an oatmeal-honey loaf of bread, and a salmon for dinner. Anne prepared the vegetables and Kathy brought along dessert. The spirits were flowing.

Afterwards we had the gift exchange. Mom got a lot of clothes.

For the two nights before the gathering I made crozchiki and took one batch into work Tuesday morning. The other batch got divided in two. We ate one batch Christmas Eve and packaged the second one for Cincinnati. Hey John, make sure Kathy delivers it to you.

Nancy's girls visited her in Florida. And John, Heidi and his girls were home in Ohio.

People were getting a bit freaky with the nice, mild weather we had last night and today. I remember a few Christmases like that, so it's nothing unusual.

I was able to ride the motorcycle this afternoon. It was a wee bit chilly (around 40 degrees) but it still made for a nice ride. You just have to bundle up a bit, that's all.

We have photos from last night on Flickr. They can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22036136@N07/sets/72157611593953011/

Have a great New Year's Day!
