“Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

Hoping you get what you wanted for Christmas from Santa!

See you next week, off to the cabin in the woods with my wonderful family!

Peace”

“Merry Christmas, Maple!

I'm headed to my folk's house right after work (or sooner if I can skip out of here). My sister is already there, and my brother and family are showing up tomorrow. Presents will be opened tomorrow, and Mom is making a BIG dinner! :) I really need some family time. :)”

“Happy Holidays Folks!”

“Merry Christmas.

I am picking up the kids today and we are going to their granny's house in Hattiesburg for a couple of days.”

“Awww, how cute! But what did the other monkeys do that they couldn't be in the picture?”

“Switzerland a couple of years ago.

Nice monkey lyra. Here I was thinking they were live monkeys.”

“oohhh, Switzerland...aren't we worldly. ;-)

they ARE live monkeys...to me. LOL! don't tell anyone, but that's just some picture i found on google.”

“Ok lyra, im way slow on things sometimes but still have no clue about you and the monkey!

“i just love monkeys, Maple! feel free to quote me on that.
:-D

“Instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, she pulled a monkey....”

“i'm not sure what's up with those monkey's either, but i'm not convinced i want to know. :)”

“Mapleleaf and Treebeard,

“Are these like the monkeys in some one's pants on the other thread?






(Sorry, could resist.)”

“enjoy your time with your friends and family.


see ya all next week!”

“Ha! You wish!”

“OK, I'm outta here. Gone to go buy blinds for my daughter's bedroom, and thence home for the holidays.

Y'all keep it between the yaller lines, y'hear?”

“so what did everyone get for Christmas? speek now or for ever hold your peace
LOL”

“I think people in my family have figured out I like coffee. Several travel mugs, couple of lbs (Italian Roast and Kauai) and a large metal coffee press from Starbucks. A LiveStrong bracelet (finally!) and my annual Tram pass from Mrs Pathman. I think we had 18 family members at dinner. Antipasto followed by lasagna, white and red, with all the trimmings. My Dad was quite proud his two bottles of Matues Rose disappeared first. We always had that at Christmas dinner, the teens got to have a glass.

I didn't think to ask last night, bad me.

Christmas Eve, we went to my son's future inlaws after the early service. Another huge family, Italian and New Mexican (Hispanics settled in NM during Spanish rule). They also like to eat and drink.

Other than the normal family tension when you get that many together, a Merry Christmas indeed.”

“yup have a very merry and a cool yule”

“Merry Christmas everyone!!”

“merry christmas from nc!”
