We're enjoying a relaxing Christmas break here. We've cooked, read, watched Christmas DVDs and engaged in Scrabble tournaments. I read a book in which a couple kept track of their Scrabble scores all year and then totaled them on New Year's Day. The winner for the year got to choose the spot for their next vacation. We've decided to try that out. So far Doug is winning. I also got him a travel book called "Make the Most of Your Time on Earth" so that whoever the winner is will be able to choose an exciting destination.
Speaking of travel... we debated about coming up north this weekend. Doug has the weekend off for our anniversary, but realized that a combination of weather and short notice may not make that the best idea. Instead we'll stick close to home and spend our anniversary partaking of a movie marathon of the latest flicks we've been wanting to see. However, I'm committing to come north for MLK Jr. weekend (January 19-21). Mark your calendars! Hopefully this will give us some time to make real plans instead of just showing up and announcing "I'm here!" Though the latter is certainly reminiscent of the way my family would always show up. :-)
I hope that everyone is having a very Merry Christmas. Though I'm far away, I think of all of you as I cook green bean casserole, admire Christmas decorations I've been given by all of you, watch Christmas Vacation etc. You're never very far from my thoughts or my heart. Love you!

Feath!
I have to admit, this was my first visit to your Claud-blog, but even though I'm reading some things late, it's good to hear about what's going on with you. I was wondering what your holidays and big birthday were like. Happy Birthday late; I have your presents waiting at my house. :-)
On the pre/post-Christmas front, it looks like Dawn will be having it in North Bay on Saturday, January 19. I will go as early as I can, but will have to leave around 2:00 so Lucy can get a good nap. We are having Bob & Mary over for snacks and wine that night. I don't think I have anything going on Sunday other than church, so if you want to go out to dinner or something, that would be nice; I think Scott is even off!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and I can't wait to see you!
Love,
Jen
