Well the morning started out with a serenade from the rooster's next door; one in the garage and one in the back yard. The one in the yard is Sam's buddy and when the two roosters are together they fight like crazy, so the neighbor keeps them separated but that doesn't stop them from dueling with their crowing, anyhow it was something to hear them.
After our quiet times and a lite breakfast I headed out to the gardens to water and Nancy busied herself getting ready for the Christmas breakfast we are having tomorrow. She was making a huge egg and ham casserole with bread crumbs on top. I peeled and cut up 6 large navel oranges as well as pulled some green onions for the casserole. After those preparations were complete we took a nice long walk through the hood. It was sunny and warm with temps in the 70's but the humidity was creeping back so the a/c would go on later in the day despite the nice northern breeze.
After the walk I fixed a great salad from the garden and was it ever dewisheous. I tuned in to the NFL and watched our hapless Bucs get stormed rolled by the Panthers; it was down right ugly and embarrassing these high paid pro's could perform so little. I have always been a supporter of the home town team but this whole team needs to be fired including the coaching staff. Oh well!!!
We got ready to head over to Element around 4:30 as Dan and I helped to set up the communion trays for the candle lite service. Wow was it ever a super gathering with nearly every chair filled and 60 plus little kids in the kid area. The music was awesome and inspiring and it was so good to see so many who had returned for a visit with family who had left the area permanently. There were lots of old familiar faces as well. The program was awesome and very upbeat as we celebrated this greatest gift of love to mankind in the form of a baby JESUS.
We were back home by 8:30 then we headed over to Dan and Carol's for a late night meal of Philly cheese steak hoagies, Yumm as that's the first time I had ever eaten one of those. We then played a 1/2 game of Phase 10(Carol won on the last round as we all were tied) and then headed home around 10:15. It was a fun filled busy day and we got to see our grand babies at the service as well. They were so cute in their Christmas finery and excited about the prospect of opening presents tomorrow morning at our house as well. We hope all of you have a great time with family where ever your paths take you and take a moment to reflect on why this is still a worldwide holiday especially among Christian folks in America.
