Christmas was very hard this year. Their was some tension and the gifts were hard to find for each kid. Brandon hardest of all! We ate our wonderful breakfast and dug into the wrapping paper. They all loved their gifts and thought it was a wonderful Christmas. North Faces were very popular this year, on almost everyone's list. Merry Christmas, and thank God it is over.

Jim and his girlfriend, Katy, Jim and Kay, and Jack and I attented the Christmas Carol yesterday. It was a very different experience this year at the wonderful FOX Theater. It always changes a bit each year, but this year it was largely different. After we went, as tradition, to the local diner about a mile close to the theater we attended. We were STUFFED when we finished. Katy & Jim dated in highschool/college for 4 years, and now since Jan has died, they reconnected on facebook and have wound up planning a "date" for the "wedding". So the kids have NEVER met Katy. They enjoyed her company and loved her dog. It was a wonderful adult night. I don't get those that often and it was great! Merry C-Mas!!!
