Happy Holidays, me pals.

Big todo's this evening, and then a much more relaxed Christmas Day is in store for Yen and I.

Peace, Love, and cranberry sauce.
Scott

Merry Christmas every buddy!

Let there be Peas on Earth.

We just got back home from church.

This year I actually managed to get everyone out of the
house 45 minutes early so we could get to church in time to
be able to find seats.

I figured, hey this year we will finally get to sit!

Hmmm.

No chance.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the parking lot
completely full with people standing outside trying to get
in.

Mobbed.

Inside was a sea of disappointed faces that matched mine.

We squeezed into a spot along the wall out in the vestibule
and we took turns holding the baby.

Maybe we'll get seats next year...
We'll leave for church on the Dec. 23rd instead, to beat out
those early bird devout Catholics who get to sit each year.

Anyhow it was pretty cool as it turns out.
You coouldn't really hear much of the organ or piano
playing but we all did the best we could.

It actually sounded quite nice as the vertubule section did
their best keeping time acapella. We all sort of looked
around at each other. Strangers acknowleging strangers as
we all realized how nice we sounded.

Then at the end it was a mad dash for the car and a race to
the exit before all the seated people got to their cars.

Anyhow, gotta run.

It's eggnog time!

Best wishes to you all.

Love yoos.

P.S. Supposed to get a ton of snow the next two days.

We get a white Christmas afterall!!
