It's a little after 9 pm on Christmas and we are watching It's A Wonderful Life, and this year has taught us just how wonderful life is!

We are spending a quiet Christmas together. We aren't having Christmas with the kids/grandkids until next week-end. We are having to work around visitation schedules. And, my kids are going to their dad's tomorrow. This was a last minute decision. His wife has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and will be starting chemo and radiation after Christmas. So, they decided that they wanted to have all the kids together on Christmas. We can understand that and will be praying for her. We've been invited to our son-in-law's parents for dinner, but we've decided to have a quiet dinner by ourselves.

Had a plumbing problem tonight and our son-in-law volunteered to come over tonight after a gift exchange to fix it. Our garbage disposal had frozen up and today the sink wouldn't drain. And since the sink wouldn't drain, the dishwasher couldn't be used either. So, Bryan came over and installed a new disposal (we bought one Saturday, just hadn't gotten it put in yet).

We're supposed to have a white Christmas! It's supposed to start raining in the morning, changing to snow by late afternoon/early evening and heavy snow by midnight. I may have to stay up to watch it. I know I won't sleep well knowing that it's snowing. So, it may be by the light of the tree lights...sounds pretty good to me!

I hope all of you have a blessed Christmas and a joyous new year. We are looking forward to a new year filled with untold opportunities. Goodnight everyone...and Merry Christmas!
