Christmas Has Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone.  We watched a lot of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel.  On Christmas Eve about 90 folks in the park got together and played Dirty Santa which was a great time with lots of laughs.  There were those two priceless gifts that showed up that all you could do was laugh but, of course, not something anybody really wanted.  On Christmas Day we went to church and enjoyed a nice service.  There was a decent crowd considering about 600 had showed up on Christmas Eve for that service.  About 1:30 pm over 100 folks piled into the rec hall in the park for a large Christmas dinner.  We were seated next to some Canadians that were fun to talk to.  They were from Ontario and have been coming to this park for nearly six years.  After a brief rest at home following dinner, we took the girls for a long walk at one of the city parks then came home and crashed.  Too much food.

Today we put up Christmas to get our RV back to some normal living conditions.  The weather here the past 2-3 days has been very warm (low 80s) and sunny.  It's been a bit of a challenge to get in the Christmas spirit with it so warm but that's what we wanted - no snow, no ice, no cold weather!  

On New Year's Eve there is going to be a park get together with finger food and music.  The Activity Committee frequently brings outside musicians into the park to provide music for us and it only costs $5/person.  Should be fun.  From the sounds of it, most of the folks are home by 10 pm.

  1. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas! DI'd a face plant in my neighbor's driveway. Am now in the ER getting checked out as I have surgery next Wednesday to have my gallbladder removed. My Christmas was great. The grandkids were wonderful and little Maggie was a delight.

  3. Not really sure why comments are posting twice. Surgery went fine, Christmas was wonderful, birthday for Maggie was great, House refinance went smoothly and payments lowered and other that the mishap with the roof on the RV and the wonderful fix, things are going swimmingly. April is upon us and the flowers are in full bloom here in East Texas.
