Christmas X5

Not everyone has to take part in five Christmas celebrations but Paul and I do. For once in a good long while I didn't have to rush to get back to work -- the joys of self-employment. It was nice just really enjoy Christmas and lots of family time. Plus, one of my favorite Christmas traditions, the Christmas Eve Communion Service at my home church, Rolling Fork United Methodist Church.

Christmas began with Memphis to my Aunt's home with her family and my Mimi, next it was to Valley Park to my late great-grandmother's home where my Uncle Horace and Aunt Florence host the Newman celebration (Uncle Horace had to be taken to the ER that morning so when we arrived everyone was the kitchen preparing the meal. He's on the mend now.), then a day off from celebrating where we all just chilled in Rolling Fork, Christmas Eve lunch at my Grandma's with presents with my Grandma, Uncle, Aunts and Cousins, followed by church service, and finally Christmas Day with presents with my parents, Lisa, Landry, Bryan and Paul. After lunch, Paul and I traveled to my inlaws to eat supper and do presents on our way home.

The Christmas Cookies were a hit! I am sure everyone will be expecting them for years to come.
My sister, Lisa, niece, Landry and I started our own tradition this year of decorating Christmas cookies in our pjs on Christmas Eve Eve. Landry had way to much fun with the sprinkles. That was her job this year. Next year, we've all got to get matching aprons.
