White Christmas

We're supposed to host Christmas Eve dinner and a Christmas Day open house. Right now, I'm wondering why we don't have Christmas in July. Most of my online orders are stuck at the distribution centers and we're not sure folks can make it to our house (hey, even the mail didn't arrive yesterday!).

It's been snowing all week with record lows (the lowest at our house was 9-degress fahrenheit (-12C)). We're quite happy that we're not trying to stay warm in a motorhome right now. The lowest we encountered while traveling in Europe was -14C. Not a fun night on metered electricity!

As we look forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, my wish this year is for the roads to clear enough for folks to get here; for the snow to hold off so they aren't stuck here; for the packages to arrive - or at least be available for Dan to retrieve from distribution centers. But most of all, for each of you to have a very warm, Merry holiday with your family and friends.
