My christmas spirits are rising. My son is coming up from Kentucky and my Niece is coming from Florida.

Last night the township had 3 fire trucks all decorated with lights driving around town blowing the whistles and sirens and Santa was throwing candy to all the children. That sort of help my spirit. Seeing all the happiness and fun. Now I just have to finish my cooking and I am done for Christmas.

The only thing here in New Jersey they are predicting rain for the next three days. That is going to put a little damper on the festivities.

O well it could be worse. Like all of you that got stuck with the snow and ice and floods. I shouldn't be complaining. Hope all of you have made out OK.
