Better Not Pout.....

Better not cry! `Cause the fat man's coming tonight! Ahh, Christmas Eve. Lot's of people always look forward to Christmas Day, rather than the night before, but that's different for me. (... Kind of.) Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days because it's the only day where I voluntarily go to church. The past few years I've been in the annual Christmas Pageant at church (I've been Joseph once, and a Narrator all the other years. I've heard I'm pretty good at that narrating thing.), and since I'm not in it this year (neither are Jack and Mike), it'll be nice to see other kids doing it. (we'll see if this year's narrator can show me up. Good luck to them, they'll need it.)

Anyway, after that, my grandparents, and Aunt Patti all head back to our house to have some dinner, exchange gifts with Patti, and have some of mom's world famous Crabbies (crab cakes).

Then, when everyone leaves, we'll hang our stockings, and say our prayers, `cause Santa Clause comes tonight.
It doesn't sound like much, but it's kind of a big deal for us. It's been a tradition of ours for as long as I can remember, and with Gramma's condition, (I'd rather not say what that is right now, for the sake of her not wanting the whole world knowing) and all, it's one of the few things that hasn't changed about Christmas this year.

Another thing I'd like to pay attention to tonight is Cooper. Last year, on Christmas day, we got him a bone to keep him occupied while we opened presents in the morning. He ended up eating through the thing in five minutes, and it was a fairly big bone! He hasn't had one in a while, so I'm curious to see how fast he get's through the one we're going to give him tonight, when everyone comes over.

I should also mention that we're going to have a picture-perfect, "white" Christmas! It started snowing again this morning, only to add to the snow left over from Sunday (which was still a good two to three inches).

Anyway, just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, seeing as I probably won't be doing any blogging tomorrow, if you know what I mean.

HO HO HO!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
