Christmas Eve

In Keeping with Tradition,

We Met for Breakfast with the T Family,

at a Local Country Diner,

Then We Broke Up the Party,

and Headed Out,

for those Last Minute

Christmas Eve-y Things,

to Rejoin Later that Day,

for What Turned Out to be

a VERY Memorably,

Wonderful Night.

We

(the Entire T Family, Plus Other Family Extensions)

took the Opportunity

to Volunteer and Serve Dinner,

at a Local Women's and Children's Home.

[I Cannot Take Credit for Organizing

the "Troops" or Any such Planning,

Only Fulfilling My Assignments]

We were Lucky,

In that Many Items were Donated

for Our Use,

Including Christmas Stockings

and a Santa Suit.

Forgive Me If I get Long on Details and Pictures.

Pictures of the Women were Not allowed,

but If So,

I would Have tried to Capture

the Events of the Night,

as We Served Dinner,

and did several activities,

Including a Hat Swap,

a telling of

'Twas the Night Before Christmas,

The MOST Endearing Visit

from Santa Claus,

and Christmas Stockings filled with Goodies.

I think at one time or another,

Everyone got a Little Teary-Eyed.

The Women, and the Volunteers.

At the End of the Night,

there were Lots of Hugs,

and a Special Feeling of Family.

I LOVED Spending My Christmas Eve,

Like This.

*******

Our Christmas Eve Night

was Spent at My Brother-In-Law's

Doing the Things that Happen Before

The Jolly Ol' Elf's Arrival

Shhhhhh...

[Whispering]

Merry Christmas to All,

And to All,

A Good Night.
