...if you want. I enjoy reading them. Some of you have some really heartwarming traditions and get-togethers.
We have a busy day ahead. I will be picking up a couple of photo projects at Walmart today for the final gifts. My daughter will be traveling down from Nashville so all seven of us will be together (prayers for safe travels today!)
This afternoon and evening will include attending three Church services. We have our usual 4:00 children's service, and my wife, youngest daughter and I will be attending another denomination at 5. Her voice teacher is the music director there and asked her to sing with his choir today.
Afterward it will be to a friend's house to share pizza. We used to go out with them every year for Christmas Eve dinner and have had some great times. Their four children match up in ages with our four oldest. When I used to post about the Navy Blue Angels, their daughter - who is getting married in May - was one of my players.
We will depart after a short visit and enjoy family time and family gifts at home. Christmas Day has always been for Santa Claus, so we exchange family gifts tonight.
My wife, youngest daughter and I will head back to Church at 10 pm for our late service.
Tonight if kids have been good, Santa arrives. We negotiate each year with our youngest on when he can get up Christmas Day. We each start with an absurd position before arriving at a reasonable compromise. Sounds like work to me.
My wife, with some help with daughters, will prepare a big Christmas meal around 2. We will overeat, and some will nap.
The day after, I hope to get everyone together to go to Gadsden and Noccalula Falls, with some pretty lights decorations in the Park. It's about an hour drive, and something I really enjoy.
Nothing big for us, mainly just spending time together. But very special.
Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope you will be enjoying your family time together this year as well.
