Difficult to get in the spirit this year. Maybe cause of all the health issues last 12 months. Kids now calling this Capt the "Miracle Man".
Attended 1st of 3 Christmas gatherings yesterday. Wifes family who see just annually. Shocked at the aging of some since last year.
Weathers been up and down. 8 degrees yesterday morning. Plowed out 2x times so far.
Finally made black walnut cookies from commercial packaged and hand picked nuts from TN. Bit of finger stainin but ... its a "Labor of Love."
Natural gas bill for Dec. = $157 (temp set at 75), gasoline = $3.17, eggs = $4.49 - $4.99.
Takin the squeeze out tonight to view Christmas lights, exchange gifts, light up the fireplace, cookies and egg nog or cocoa and a puzzle.
Christmas Eve = w/ squeezes family. Christmas Day = w/ this Capt's family.
To all here...a very Merry Christmas and a Trumpian New Year!! May your holidays be memorable spent w/ whats most important...family and friends.
