Since Christmas is on a Sunday this year, we're moving everything with Tom's parents to tomorrow--dinner and their gifts (to and from). Since I cheated this year and got a gingerbread village kit, we may decorate gingerbread houses with Grandma and Grandpa, if I remember to assemble them tonight. Christmas Day will be stockings, church, and family gifts, followed by Tom heading to the usual street corner for ministry, though the big give-away was last Sunday. That's from 2-4, and then Tom's on the radio from 5-6. Dinner will be leftovers, and we will relax in the evening. The girls and I will probably have a RankinBass marathon on YouTube while Tom's out--'tis easy to connect the laptop to the TV. For my birthday on the 28th, Tom and I usually go spend a night or 2 in a motel, but this year, we're saving that money for my trip to the UK (should be just right for my passport, actually) and either going to the snow or the zoo with the girls--both about 2 hours away. I'm actually now leaning more toward the zoo, since the snow will likely be crowded, and a lot colder than when we went during Spring Break this year.
How will I ever catch up ? At least the Pond was not drained while I was away. Did anyone get sent to the Land of Ban?
