The pealed the bells, both loud and deep,
"God is not dead nor doth he sleep!
The wrong shall fail, the right revail,
With Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What did Santa bring the dawn patrol?
I don't know what Santa brought yet. Hubby and I are going to leave early to watch little ones open gifts and then on to the other kid's house. We'll see what Santa brought some time this afternoon when we return home.
Good morning, and Merry Christmas!
How are you today?
Just put in the French toast casserole. I'm taking it to daughter's later where it will be reheated with the other stuff made yesterday.
Should have tried to go back to sleep. Can't seem to do that after a solid six hours.
I'm doing just great! I got 6 hours of sleep in 2 three-hour stints. Not how I like it, but it will do. Bet it smells good in your house!
Santa will be taking a rest stop at my house later today.
Good coffee today.
Good morning! Say 'hi' to Santa for me!
Good job!
Santa will need to come inside, but those poor reindeer...working all night and no dry barn at CM's.

I watched the movie "Elf" last night...
Did you find the movie to be amusing or just Hollyweird pap?
Merry Christmas!
Some funny parts.....certainly not a Christmas movie like the Hollywood of old
Good morning, kassie! Did you sleep well, or did visions of sugar plums dancing in your head keep you awake?
"Who is Jesus?" documentary now playing on FOX. Excellent tour of historical places where Jesus and apostles tread.
I slept like a log.
Do you have a busy day planned?
Good Christmas morning!
What time do the 'kids' arrive, Cmom?
Are you hosting daughter and granddaughters today, kassie?
Very busy day....could not prepare lasagna last night ready for baking today because my frig was too full. One daughter is coming this morning, others coming throughout the day. Dinner for all at 6pm. (or thereabouts...lol)
Last year, my girlfriend taught 4th grade at a 100% minority school (which was closed - now she teaches at the best school in town - quite a change for her). Anyway - one of her daughters (Sue) latched on to one of her previous students and has been a surrogate mom to her for a while (I didn't get the whole story - but I think the dad left and mom is on drugs - she's with an aunt now).
So - last night - we're preparing for the Christmas eve feast, when the girl calls and is crying (she's alone on Christmas eve). So we put a hold on everything and Sue jumps in the car and goes and gets her.
The night continued - with one, very happy black girl among a whole bunch of white folk and two dogs. Then, when we opened the presents - unbeknown to me, everyone had gotten her something. She ended up with a huge pile of stuff.
Anyway, she eventually fell asleep and spent the night over there. My GF is bringing her here later to see my fish - before she takes her back to her aunt.
