We had a very nice Christmas. It was just the 4 of us, five if you count Lily. We went to church and as we left the priest said, “See you at Easter!” Dad fried another turkey. Mom made tons of cookies and 2 sweet potato pies. In terms of gifts, Mom got me a very nice pair of gold stud earrings and a leather wallet. Lisa got me a Tom Jones CD and a pair of Gap pants. I did WELL! Lisa liked the mini Danelectro amp I got her, and Mom liked the 3 quart sauce pan and gray fleece sweatshirt. Dad actually accepted the wooden darts and 3 bottles of wine. Normally he refuses all gifts.

Lisa is very upset. She sent out 15 Christmas cards to her favorite relatives and friends, and she DIDN’T RECIEVE A SINGLE CHRISTMAS CARD BACK!!!!!! I told her that because of the tragedies that have happened to our country as well as the lagging economy, people are cutting back and only sending cards to people they really like this year. Maybe next year she will rate better on people’s list.

Oh I didn’t say that Lisa and I got Lily a little rawhide shoe for Christmas. She loves it.
