Merry Christmas!

We're skipping church this morning to prepare the dining room for our meal. Turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, and other goodies. You know, the traditional Christmas meal. One year, though, my parents had chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce for Christmas - that was certainly something different for us, since we're usually quite traiditonal in our holiday meals.

Doesn't feel quite like the holidays this year since I'm working at the hospital so much. I didn't take any time off and I picked up extra shifts. How very Ebeneezer Scrooge of me!
