When do you finish for the holiday Ed?
I'm off this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the weekend and I'm off NEXT Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
All my shopping is done. I just write and mail checks.

Quite a nice break, time to get over the Xmas day and New years Eve food and drink and late night excesses - although I know you don't drink much. Do you have plans for New Years Eve? I prefer NY to Xmas but had very quiet ones the last couple of years.

We probably wont see Kellys kids or the grandkids because Kelly is having some issues with her daughter.
Its going to be at least 85 degrees on Christmas day.
At least if it were cold outside there would be a feeling of Christmas.

I tend not to celebrate either.
The new year doesn't excite me and Christmas is so excessive. (And so NOT about Christ)
No plans.
Know what you mean - it's sad to see families who are on the bread line getting themselves into debt just so their spoilt kids can have all the designer and hi tech stuff. All kids are interested in is how much they had spent on them. I never ask what my class had when I go back to school because some have a lot and others next to nothing. I stopped asking early in my teaching career when the kids were all listing everything they had, but one boy when it came to him said it wasn't his turn this year so he had nothing because his brother did. He did have some late pressies though from a secret Santa;)

It's going to be very soggy here, no let up in the rain until next week I think. I once spent Xmas in South Africa where it was scorching but it didn't feel right being in the pool sipping Martinis on Xmas Day. Wet in the UK as it is I don't think I'd like to do a hot and sunny Xmas again.

That is a really wonderful story.
