Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It will be nice and sunny, and around 50 today ... not bad for a winter day. :) It's starting to look like the nice weather may hold out until Christmas Eve ... very good for travelers!
Yesterday was a great day at work. We had a departmental lunch (we have some GREAT cooks!), plus a gift exchange. It was a lot of fun ... and no one felt like working in the afternoon! LOL! Last night I did get one batch of cookies made. They didn't turn out quite like I expected ... but the children won't care. Tonight I hope to wrap a few gifts, and maybe make one more batch of cookies. Or something. :)
There are 2 days and 17 hours (7:00 am EST) left until Christmas!!
