Christmas 2007

At 3:00 p.m. we headed up to the Ballroom and we sat with 3 other couple, none of us knew each other. There were about 300 people seated for dinner. We had a great time! Dinner consisted of Ham, carrots, salad, jello-fruit salad, scalloped pototes, rolls, and cheese cake for desert. We sang Christmas carols, opened presents...We ended up having a good Christmas.
The night before we went to Church for service, with singing, The Lord's supper and a candle light ceremony...not like Ridgedale Baptist, but very close to home.
Yesterday wasn't like any Christmas I've ever had in the past. I woke up really early like always on Christmas morning but didn't hear any pitter-patter of little feet. No yelling, no kids laughing or screaming and I started to cry. I missed my family so much! Christmas hasn't been the same since John died 3 years ago-Christmas. Anyway, I got up to fix the coffee and guess what? Santa came to visit me. There was a brand new stocking filled with goodies. A beautiful Christmas card and a box, I-pod nano! I was so excited! Hank got nothing! (Maybe Hank wasn't as good as I was) ho ho !!(I felt horrible) My pottery wasn't done on Monday like they said, it will be done today....oh well!
