Christmas Eve. This time last year, my father was fighting for his life, my son had a concussion, and I was quite busy coughing up blood. There is nothing like that going on this year, thank God, though Dan is sick, and Bill is all stiff and sore yet.

Spent a quiet day mostly at home. Fed stale bread to the squirrels, baked goodies for the kids all day, gave the cats a special dinner treat...I have just a couple more small gifts to pack, then we can all go to bed early tonight.

Had a quiet dinner...turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatos and gravy, salad, scones, crescent rolls, macaroni &cheese, sparkling grape juice...since I am working tomorrow, I wanted to have a nice dinner tonight instead...
