So, to make the best of the situation.. Off to Grandmas we go where the kids have full stockings waiting and presents galore under her tree.
We had the grand kids ( ages 9,8,7, and 4) over tonight and opened presents. The favorite gift was a karaoke machine as a family gift. We laughed so hard our sides ache. It was a great night.

We will stay at her house until we sell ours in TX. In the mean time we have 2 kids that are transferring to new schools. It’s a scarey but exciting adventurous times for us.

Hey maryse and fellow readers. Just read through this blog. Amazing how many different and how many similar ways people all over the world spend Christmas.
My husband two young children and I drive north each year from Florida to spend Christmas with my in laws. Mother on law makes it special with special dishes and drinks that each person likes. Children light luminaries down the drive, we take a family picture in front of the tree. Christmas Eve church service, then home for a big meal. Presents exchange in front of a tree with thoughtfully selected ornament for each person representing our year. We set out food for raindeer and cookies for santa. The children write him a note. Then the children and grandparents go to bed and our parent work begins. Wine in hand we set out Santas stash. It’s a beautiful holiday and I thank you for asking. Sometimes I forget how nice something is until I sit and write about it.
Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you all find peace wherever you are.
First thing I do every morning is check this site for the latest and greatest review.
