Christmas Time!
Hi everybody!
I have barely been on here lately, my semester is winding down (2 final exams down, 2 to go!). Just wondering what everyone's plans are for Christmas! It is my absolute favorite time of the entire year (my mother calls me a "Who"). Happy Holidays!!!

Hi Maddie!! I bet you'll be glad to get the last two final exams out of the way huh?
We don't do a whole lot here...we go to my mother's on the 23rd with my two brothers and their families. Then on the 24 Mom comes to our house and spends the night and we get up Christmas morning and open our gifts. Mom then goes to my older brothers house for dinner and we just stay here and relax. Usually that afternoon or early the next day, I take my tree down and get things back in order...lol. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

We (hubby, daughter, son-in-law, 2 granddaughters, and mom) have dinner reservations on Christmas eve. We are not cooking because we are all leaving town right after Christmas. BUT we ARE fixing lots of Christmas goodies, cookies, candy, cakes, snacks - cuz we will take all those things with us.
After dinner on Christmas eve, we'll go back to my daughters for Christmas goodies and we'll play cards. The granddaughers will probably get to open one present. We'll just eat, laugh and enjoy the evening. On Christmas morning, we'll get up early to open presents. Then we will fix our traditional country breakfast, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and gravy. After breakfast my daughter and her family are heading out of town to go to Colorado skiing. Later Christmas afternoon, my mom and I will have dinner with some relatives in a little town just north of where we live. We haven't seen these particular relatives in over 10 years, so that will be nice. On the day after Christmas, my husband, mom (and our two Yorkies) and I will head up to Oklahoma (about a 6 hour drive) to have Christmas with my husband's 4 sisters and his two sons and 3 grandsons. I have some business to do in Oklahoma, so I will be running around the state while Gary visits his family. We'll only stay a few days, then we'll be home to rest and recuperate! The first week in January, we'll be getting our deer lease ready to have a sale, so we will be really busy with all that! WHEW! I'm tired already!

MADDIE LOU WHO...what a darling name
  Finishing a semester AND having Christmas...no wonder you're happy!!My son, dil, and grandkids will spend a few days with us at Christmas. We'll go across the street to my brother and sil's house on Christmas Eve. My 3 brothers and their families will be there. We'll have a gift exchange game, eat soups, laugh and act stupid. For some reason we all get along really well and enjoy each others company, lol! We'll have Christmas day here. My other son and dil are coming on New Years Eve from Seattle and they will be here a week. I'll leave my tree up for them. I can't tell you how much I love having all of my kids together at home Dustin and Joy haven't seen their new niece yet! I know this will be our last Christmas together for a long time, since Michael and his family will be moving to Scotland soon. I'm not going to waste my time being sad about it...I'll just think about it another day, lol!
