Christmas Time

I would like to tell you how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family. This Christmas we went to Soldier Hollow for a party that my dad puts on for all his kids and grandchildren. They went tubing and then we had a yummy dutch oven dinner with roast, turkey, potatoes, beans, rolls and a variety of salad.

After the big dinner, it was topped off with the most wonderful peach cobler dessert.

Then out of nowhere came this jolly old santa dressed in red from his head to his toes. It was fun to see the look on the small children as he came running in with a bag of toys for ALL the kids. Most of the kids thought it was great and some SCREAMED as if the Grinch had taken away their candy cane.

After santa was through talking to the kids and giving them a stuffed animal or flying helicopter gun (for all that were good), He left with a Ho Ho Ho and as I turned to the windows there grew such a site as I seen miniture reindeers and santa flying out of site.

You could hear the whisper of the children and see the twinkles in their eyes knowing that it was time to go home and get in their new cozy jammies for SANTA was going to be coming back on Christmas EVE.
