Holidays Fun

Happy Holidays All!

I am getting excited about going home for our family Christmas. The last time I was home was in July, I feel like it has been a really long time. Going home for the holidays is always fun, there is something about going out on Main St. and running into people you know that adds to the warm fuzzy feeling of being home after not having been for a while. I can’t wait to take a nap in front of the fire place at home because it’s too cold to even get up and into bed. Hanging out downstairs, making drinks, playing pool and sitting in the hot tub before and or after going out with friends. The wings at the Fainting Goat with old “staff therapy” friends. And while I won’t admit it very often, I am kind of excited about seeing the snow.

Scott and I are still finalizing our travel plans, we are supposed to have it figured out by mid-week. Right now I think he plans on going much earlier and driving, then I will catch a one way flight to Minneapolis to meet up with him. Then we will have a couple of days in Cedar Falls/Waverly then off to the annual Clark/Jones family Christmas party. Where we will wake up hungover without any uncertainty and drive the 12 hours back south.

Every year for our family Christmas get together one of the grandkids are in charge of writing the skit. Now for most people that might sound lame but for our family this is a drunken good time. This year…it is our turn. Jessica and I are the ones responsible for putting together the good ole family Christmas Skit. Now I am not allowed to give it away so there is not too much I can say about it, except for, it is going to be a LOT of laughs, and will be hard to beat. We are still ironing out a few of the final details and need to figure out a way to include more of the costumes, and props. Did I forget to mention there are costumes and props…this is all just part of the fun, the ridiculous costumes; Mr and Mrs Clause, elf, angel, toy soldier, ginger bread man, snowman, Rudolph…the list goes on. Maybe this year I will make a video of it for other to see, then again I am not sure there should be documented proof of such things, pictures are bad enough.

We will see.
