Sunday, December 21/2014 - Saturday, December 27/2014

It is Christmas week and the weather is still holding.  The man cave is up and running and it is sure nice to be able to be outside and yet not really "be outside"!!
We have had several fires in the evenings and have even got another cord of wood.   So now we have two cords sitting in the wood pile so we should be good to go for a while.
I did the final Christmas shopping for the food and managed to get a 19 pound turkey for the big day.
John usually cooks it in the trash can but this year chose not to so it was brined and put into the oven. We had six for supper and as usual, it went off without a hitch.   There were plenty of leftovers and no one is going to have to cook until New Years!!
The weather turned very chilly Christmas Eve and MaryBeth was worried that Santa would get "blue balls"!!  I guess he didn't as there was a little "something" under the tree for all of us!!   Even Hogan got a new cuddle blanket!!
Although not really a busy week, it was nice to get the Christmas "stuff" over with and to be able to focus on something less stressful.....like New Year's Eve!!
