The Eve of Christmas Eve

With all our shopping done a few weeks ago, everything baked and distributed that needs to be baked, meals planned and put together in the fridge/freezer for our house full of guests this weekend, and the grey weather enveloping us makes today, the eve of Christmas Eve, a 'blah' sort of day! The morning was spent putting the finishing touches on cleaning for all the company coming starting today (Laura, Troy and godson Seth arrived at 1:30pm), but no other plans for the day. The rest of the guests arrive at various times tomorrow.

One disappointment - we never received the Christmas Invite here at home, bulk mailed December 14th. The Eagle, mailed Thursday, arrived today. I am afraid that post office lost or put aside those invites (did anyone else receive theirs?). I'm having a hard time offering that one up if it is true. But the radio ads sounded wonderful all week. And the newspaper ads looked good too. I hope many will be drawn to services for Christmas.
