CHRISTMAS 2004
Yes, it's my favorite time of the year. This house celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. We all received this wonderful gift 2004 years ago. Christ our Savior was born so that all that believe in him will have eternal life. So to honor HIM, the yard is decorated with lights and lighted figures of angels, santa, snowmen, Christmas trees, and a life-sized nativity set of lighted figures. Inside as well, the tree is up and lights in the windows...everything to light on Thanksgiving evening until January 1, 2005.
I was blessed with the company of my bestest buddy, Doug, and his two pups, Boji and Charley. Seems this is becoming a tradition as well. We enjoy spending time together and do so as often as possible.
Christmas morning started relatively early. Gifts exchanged and stockings were plundered. Santa was good to us all..and the feast was in the oven and on the stove top. Turkey, stuffing, sweet potato souffle, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and squash casserole. It must be admitted that the turkey was delicious and juicy. The pumpkin pie was a great ending to a wonderful meal. We were stuffed...and blamed the turkey for making us drowsy. Does anyone feel a nap coming on? We did...and it ended up being a “sleep“ rather than a nap. We aroused about 3 hours later...and yep, we were hungry again.
The day after Christmas (Boxing Day for our British and Canadian friends) we decided on a road trip to Savannah, Georgia. We drove through the famous historic district and the beautifully renovated Broughton Street. I believe we even stopped at the Starbucks on the corner of Broughton and Bull Streets for a restroom break. Then we took in the sights and the squares on Bull Street. The houses here are beautifully grandeur and evidence of the old south remains in tact.
The worst part of this terrific holiday was the end of it...sadness as my friends prepared to leave...even sadder to watch them drive away....
