Just wanted everyone to know the family Christmas get-together we had here at my house Saturday was a great success. I don't know how we did it, but we had 30 people (counting Conrad) here. Everyone had a great time, we played dirty Santa and only two people were stuck with dirty gifts.

My grandchildren want to come over Christmas Eve and stay the night to have Christmas here, which is fine by me. Since the passing of their other grandmother earlier this year I guess we will carry on the tradition here. I feel honored to do it. I don't know where all of us will sleep, with 8 grandkids, my daughter, two granddaughters' boyfriends, I guess they can sleep on top of each other. At least they will stay warm, lol.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone, remember to bundle when you go outside, and stay safe. Hugs and Kisse Gingerbread House in the lobby of the Arlington Hotel & Spa where I worked in Hot Springs.
