Christmas 2008 was a wonderful day. It is remarkable how the world slows down on Christmas Eve. Traffic was almost non-existent. It is a shame that we stay so busy most of the time that we can't slow down to enjoy life and enjoy our families. All through the day on the 25th, most businesses were closed so there was little need to be out and about. By tomorrow morning, the business world will come back to life and by noon, the machine of life will be back up to speed.
Christmas is over now and we have a week to get anything done that we intended to accomplish during 2008. Many will start to consider and make "New Year's Resolutions" during the coming week. Not me. A few years ago I made a resolution to not make any more New Year's Resolutions. I have been fully successful in my efforts.
We are having an unusual Christmas weekend this year. After a great Christmas Lunch at Fran's Mom's house, where I ate way too much, Fran and I returned to my Parent's house where we are staying over the Holidays. We then began to paint their living room. You see, Mom and Dad are spending Christmas with my sister and her family in Georgia. They left us a paint chip. We got the paint and at this point we have the first coat on at least two thirds of the living room.
We have now quit painting for the night and are watching old Bogart movies. We will finish up tomorrow before returning home. When we get home, we will have to get ready to join Mom and Dad for the New Year Holiday on the beach in Panama City, Florida. I can't wait to walk on the beach on New Year's Day!
It is my hope that you and yours had a Merry Christmas.
