Today I need to shift into high gear and get moving and finish us.   I&#39;m running out of time.    I still  need to go to the grocery store, finish wrapping and finish up the laundry and get the summer clothes put away since I obviously won&#39;t need them here with the wind chill below zero.  <br /><br />Tomorrow we will have Christmas with Ashleigh &amp; TJ in the afternoon - go to their house for Christmas day and have Dave &amp; his family arriving on Friday morning.     Of course we all know that Santa comes to Nannies &amp; Poppy&#39;s house on Christmas Eve day since he will be so busy on Christmas Eve taking care of all the kids on his list.   (our plans for celebrating on Christmas Eve night with Deb &amp; family was abruptly changed when Michael couldn&#39;t get off from work on Wed. night.)<br /><br />I&#39;m still trying to catch up with the posts I missed but I&#39;m making progress.<br /><br />Jenn - I&#39;m so sorry to hear of your Aunt&#39;s passing.    Remember the happy times you had with her.<br /><br />Jackie - glad to hear Candace and her little guy are doing well.   I&#39;m sure she is exhausted but once she gets all her strength back she will be fine.   What a special holiday you will all have.   <br /><br />Carmen - it&#39;s great to see you posting on a regular basis.   I missed your cheerful posts.<br /><br />Sue - Have a great time at your Sisters.    I envy all the baking you did.   I never did get around to it this year.<br /><br />Shari - Happy to hear that Marc is doing well with his treatments.   I know you will both be happy when this is all behind you.<br /><br />Kevin - Adorable snowman that Heather made.    Looks like she is enjoying the snow.   What beautiful scenery you have up at your cabin.   I&#39;d never want to leave.<br /><br />Cheryl - Sorry you are not happy with your new &quot;do&quot;.   One good thing about hair is that it will grow again.   I&#39;m sure Scotty is all ready for Santa.    How do you keep him from shaking all those packages under your tree.   TJ found 1 wrapped box in my closet and was beside himself.   He is so excited.<br /><br />Deb - how is DH today.   I hope he is not sore from his accident yesterday.   Sometimes the next day is worse.  <br /><br />Falina - Have a great visit with your DD.    It&#39;s always so good when the whole family is together.<br /><br />Martha - I don&#39;t know how things are in NC but service here in Pa. is terrible.     I didn&#39;t even get a menu at dinner last night.    It was take it or leave it.    No Giancarlo to show me to my table either.   Sorry you have to go back to work today but you are one day closer to Alaska once you go back.   <br /><br />Ed - hope you and Roe have a good trip.   Travel safely.    Glad to hear all is set for Roe&#39;s treatment starting after the first of the year.<br /><br />Steve - have fun moving that curio around.    I haven&#39;t gotten that far in the posts but I&#39;m assuming Heidi had an &quot;oops&quot; with one of Lynda&#39;s hummels.    I hope you weren&#39;t involved as well.   lol    Have a good visit with your Sister.    <br /><br />Chris - loved the pics you posted.   Looks like a great way to spend a few hours.    <br /><br />Rose - I wish I were &quot;all set&quot; for the big day.    Are you all set for your cruise?   It will be here before you know it.   <br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - congrats on the new grandbaby.    Are you all set for your cruise?<br /><br />Andrea - I&#39;ll be sending Crazie off to you next week.   Will PM you when she is on the way.<br /><br />Shaunna - where are you girl?     <br /><br />Tonia - how was your cruise.   I&#39;m waiting to hear all about it.  <br /><br />I know I am missing someone but I&#39;m sorry.   Everyone please be careful when you go about your daily business.    The roads are bad and around here freeze up every night.   Can&#39;t do much of anything til the sun melts some of it away.  Our Christmas forecast was just changed from a White Christmas to a Wet Christmas.<br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll check back later.
