What a glorious Christmas this was weather wise. For almost an entire week, temperatures shot up into the mid-70s with mild winds and no rain. What a treat.
Several of these days neared the all-time 180-year record highs for those dates. Folks flocked outdoors and the walking trails were full of families getting exercise and enjoying God’s beauty.

Merry, Merry Christmas to you! Today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow is the "Big" day, Christmas. There will be lots of celebrating with your family and friends. Jolly ole St. Nick will surely be busy tonight, Christmas Eve, making his rounds delivering toys/gifts to all the good little boys and girls.
I can remember how excited my boys were when they got up on Christmas morning and all the fun they had opening their gifts. Their eyes were lit up and big smiles on their faces. As they grew up, they knew the real reason was to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
