Holiday Season 2023 - 1 Days to Go: 4th Sunday of Advent & Christmas Eve Day

Countdown to Christmas - 1 Day

A few more things to set out. 

Dale and I went to Lunds this morning to pick up some last minute stuff. It's eerily warm outside. No snow at all but we're supposed to be getting some rain soon. 

Dale and I took Mom to Jax for their Sunday buffet brunch. 

We nabbed a parking spot in Lobster Lane. I think that's the closet we've ever parked. 

The buffet was delicious. I think Mom really liked it. 

Santa was out on the patio so I snapped a photo. 

 

I started to set up the manger scene.

Countdown to Christmas - 8 Days

Lessons and Carols service at church today. Kids made these decorations and passed them out. 

Brunch at Jax. 

I had the prime rib hash and Dale had the grilled chicken breast sandwich. 

When we got home I took a walk and set out some more tchotchkes. 

Quiet afternoon and evening. 

Holiday Season 2019 - Breakfast with Santa at Jax and More

Saturday, December 7, 2019

Cindi and Maggie invited us to Breakfast with Santa at Jax in Nordeast Minneapolis. We met them and their kids there this morning. The event was held in the upstairs banquet room. 

Dale snapped this picture of me with Santa. 

Cindi snapped this picture of me with Dale. 

Met Noel for lunch and did some holiday shopping afterward. We found some retro glass ornaments from Germany at Tangletown Gardens. Very nice but quite pricey. 

I've started to set out some holiday decor. The first things out of their boxes were the snowmen.

For a nightcap tonight I had some Bailey's Irish Cream.
