I was so fascinated at the replies from Maria and Jenn about having a BBQ for Christmas... that&#39;s Florida life girls... no snow for us&#33;&#33;  Actually we are so used to BBQ&#39;s for Christmas, because it&#39;s mid-summer in South Africa so we always used to either BBQ around the pool for Christmas or BBQ on the beach, one or the other.  I could never identify with those gorgeous Christmas Cards with snow on them.... it always was a dream of ours.  The only time we have experienced a White Christmas was when we went to Gatlinburg in the Smokies one year for Christmas and we snowed in... it was wonderful&#33;<br /><br />Joey and Tonia - wish I could join you for that meal - miss you guys&#33;<br /><br />OK Rose... you&#39;re putting us all to shame, the ultimate cookie facotry - please ship some off to me :)<br /><br />Well we&#39;re going to have two Christmas dinners this year - on Christmas Eve with our daughter Tania in Melbourne Florida and then scooting back home to spend Christmas Day with our other two daughters.  Isn&#39;t Christmas a great time to be with family?<br /><br />We are finally getting some cool weather here.  It&#39;s 58 degrees now and is supposed to go down to 39 by tomorrow morning - looking forward to all this cold weather&#33;&#33;<br /><br />
