There is always something to be thankful for every week.
1. The big family Christmas party last Saturday. It was great to see my siblings, their kids and grandkids!
2. The fun family Christmas party at my son's house on Sunday. Great food and gun games. Pictures of both are on the previous page.
3. My physical therapy appointment on Monday. I feel like it is helping. I just need to do my exercises at home. I can do some while I am watching tv.
4. Ear appointment in ENT. Glad to have my ears cleaned out so they don't bother me on the cruise.
5. Christmas cookie baking with the grands. The grands all participate. We end up not going to see lights afterwards. We decided to watch Home Alone while eating cookies and drinking Mexican hot chocolate. Before the cookies, the grands looked for the Shepherd on the search and they found what he left. Mugs.
SATURDAY 9: HAPPY HOLIDAYS
From the archives
1. As you can see, when Sam Winters was a little girl, she loved giving her annual wish list to Santa. If you could ask Santa for anything at all, right now, what would it be? A healthy body. To be well for our cruise.
2. Are you currently on the Naughty or Nice list? How did you get there? Nice, being kind and loving.
3. Are you traveling this Christmas? If so, are you going by car, plane or train? My family is coming over for Christmas breakfast and to open gifts. Most are coming back later for dinner.
4. Did you ship any gifts to friends and family this year? If yes, which one traveled the farthest? I did not ship anything. We exchanged gifts with my family on the 14th.
5. Did you buy yourself a gift this year? No, but I might after Christmas.
6. Which do you prefer: candy canes or gingerbread? I like them both, but I have to stay away from peppermint because it is not good for acid reflux.
7. Close your eyes and tell us the first carol that comes to mind. The First Noel.
8. What's your favorite winter beverage? Hubby's Mexican hot chocolate.
9. Share a memory from last Christmas. There are a lot of memories. Last year, my granddaughter Audrina and I went to see the musical Journey to Bethlehem. Afterwards, we went to In and Out for lunch and then we went to drop off Christmas gift for my cousin and aunt Rosie. Aunt Rosie was my mom's little sister and she was always so kind to me. She passed away this August and I am thinking about her and my cousin. My aunt is with her big sissy and they will be celebrating CHRISTmas with Jesus!
