Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families. THANK YOU for all you do.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. Whew! I've got a lot of pings to sort through.

DC Metroland weather report
~ Today.....A mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds. High 42F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph early.
~ Tonight.....Mainly clear skies. Low 26F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Brrrr....seems we'll be warming up in a day or so, but today and tonight.....brrrrrr

This will be the last full week at work; then I'll be on holiday leave. I will try to be here at the Canteen while I am off doing holiday type stuff, but don't worry if you don't see me one morning.

And, if you have something you really need me to know, as always, send FReepmail, so that your ping is not loss among so many others.

We had a busy weekend but I hope this weekend is not. But, I am finished my Christmas shopping. I just have one box of presents I need to get to the PO on the way home.

As for traditions, I guess hubby and I have one even though we didn't feel we had any. If grandkids are around we spend Christmas morning with them. Then, we stop by my ex-in-laws on the way to my parents on Christmas day. After an early dinner there, we stop by hubby's sister and BIL's house on the way back home, where we have another meal and gifts. We've been trying to establish Christmas eve as a time for us - sharing coffee and holiday movies.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

And, now for a public service announcement

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Until they all come home.
