Christmas Day 2014 - Christmas Is Here!

Christmas Day 2014

Mom, Dale, and I had pumpkin pie for dessert while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Mom noticed I had set out the manger Dad made for me so many years ago.

Christmas Day 2014 - Christmas Picture Books

While waiting for Mom to come over for dinner I looked at some old Christmas picture books that I read as a kid. I find the illustrations charming. They brought back many memories.

Mom came over at 4:00 p.m. We had a lovely dinner of beef stroganoff and carrots around 5 p.m.

Christmas Day this year was peaceful and meaningful. I woke up early enough to get the beef stroganoff started in the crock pot.  At around 10:30 I took a nice long nap and didn't wake up until just after 1:00!
