Christmas Time Is Here

I know that this is a tardy post but the holidays have kept me busy.

Christmas was good. The Saturday before was spent with my family and then Christmas eve with Shelly’s family. Christmas with my family is interesting to say the least. The usually gifts for grandkids and such and then the adults do a white elephant exchange. This usually is a hoot and tragic all at the same time. This year was a bit time. Almost everything entered into the exchange was somewhat useful and tasteful. Huh...


This entailed Christmas Eve service at her moms church. Shelly’s mom is a Methodist Minister at a small church in the Haute. I nice and brief service complete with a rousing chorus of Oh Holy Night (which btw, probably shouldn’t sing the other three choruses because no one knew the words). But it was fun(ny).
Then we went to her sisiter Susan’s house (greeted as always by the angry tiny dog). So family and friends gathered and what did we do...watched videos of the Parke County Police learning how to use a Taser and taking turns getting tasered! WHAT?!? It was pretty funny.

It was good times and the next morning I spent with my dad and my step family. Christmas at my dads can be summed up by the following two statements: 1. It’s the only time you will see 3 months of work destroyed in 5 minutes flat and 2. It’s like Christmas from a mail order catalog, what you ask for is what you get. Not that that’s bad, just kind of funny sometimes.

Ahh Christmas Time....
