Hey! Keep that snow to yourself. :-)

Did you get socked in pretty good where you are?

[snippy_about_it]

Bitter cold starts about minus twenty.

LOL. In your world Iris7. For me it starts at about 40 degrees.

Actually, we are lucky. We got about eight inches. Just a little south from us got twenty inches. Southern Indiana got thirty inches.

It's beautiful, and the roads around here have been cleared off. Hubby drove to my mom's and shoveled her out. She and the lass are dipping pretzels in chocolate. I've made the fudge and cookies. The ham is thawing. The good china is washed. I just have to cook the turkey and noodles tomorrow.

Afternoon Snip & Sam~

Feel's like a punch in the gut. No words to share on this one except . . .

Then prayed to find the strength to stand
"God, Oh God, make me a man!"

I'll check back a little later. Sorry.

Hi snippy, I'll be having Pork Loin roast smothered in peppercorns, with a veggie mix. Fruit cake for dessert.

How about you?

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You Matthew for the pictures.

I really like your manger scene but would like to give you some advice. What ever you do, never, never dress up like a shepherd in a life sized manger scene that has manikins in it and hold real still and all of a sudden wave at a car going by at three o'clock in the morning. There is a possibility that you can panic the driver who may have had a little to much to drink who will swerve off the road, bounce over the side walk, and then hit the wall right in front of the church, putting a large crack in it.

Now I know this has never happened, but should you ever drive by the First Baptist Church in Lincolnton, GA and notice a large crack in the wall in front of the church. Remember, you have never read this story.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[w_over_w]

Merry Christmas to all those who have served our great nation. You're the best!

Merry Christmas to all those who serve now, may our Lord watch over your familys and loved ones. We salute your service.

And Merry Christmas to the Foxhole gang for making this the best place on the Web to visit!

Are you ready for Christmas?

NO. :-( I have to go shopping after we close up tonight. What a slacker!
