Dreary here but it will hit 55 today. Record setting weather here in the Chicago area. Santa is putting wheels on the sleigh.

Goodyear or Michelin?

Wagon wheels. He got the idea from Old Crow Medicine Show.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone. We're limping along here. My cold has turned to pneumonia. But I'm on some antibiotics now, so this should finally lick it I hope.
We're supposed to have the whole family over today. Sue is cooking up a storm. Except people are dropping like flies. Other daughter's hubby just tested positive yesterday, so there's 6 more people dropping out. We're teetering on the edge.

Gathering plans are changing by the minute as more people become infected. There could be lots of cookies left over this year.

Good morning
Making a list and checking it twice, a last minute shopping list for my last foray out until next week. I'm still tempted to get some of that Chocolate Dunkel but we have several bottles of Fume, Prosecco and carbonated non-alcoholic Rose that I got for the girls. So if I want to raise my glucose way too high those with do it just as well.
Everybody have a nice Christmas and stay safe.

So you won't be needing any donations this year?

Good Morning Good People
Warm (relatively) and wet. Cleaning house and preparing for tomorrow. Kidz and grandkidz are coming for brunch (brunch to consist of unhealthy appetizers and mimosas) and opening gifts. Should be especially chaotic now that the twins are crawling. Daughter works in the afternoon.
After housecleaning and dog walking I will retreat to the workshop, might spend some time with the workshop guitar.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Good morning. It's raining and dreary here and the temperature is supposed to stay in the mid-50s all day. We may have the same day as LJ.
I need to wrap some gifts. Diane will be singing at two of the four church services. Otherwise there's not much on our agenda.
Enjoy your day.

I think we've decided on salmon for dinner, which will be before we head out in the wind and rain for tonight's church service. I'll be singing in the choir. Otherwise we would be warm and cozy at home having our traditional Christmas Eve snacks and wine. Maybe we'll pick another day for that tradition. Tomorrow night will be very simple. Thanksgiving leftovers from the freezer - turkey and trimmings and pumpkin pie.
Grandson and son-in-law were exposed to COVID when they were in a car with somebody who later became sick and tested positive. At least she didn't get very sick and improved quickly, so probably the Omicron type. Daughter is terrified of getting COVID, so they are banned from the house, staying in the travel trailer. Doesn't look like a happy holiday in their house and I don't suppose we'll be visiting any time soon.

2 of our 3 sons have made it down. We are getting rain showers here at 8500 ft. in the rockies in late December. A bit of an outrage ...
Cheers all

Listening to the local classical station's annual live broadcast of 'A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols' from King's College in Cambridge, England, complete with narration by members of the boys choir. Very comforting, that.

Last Sunday's service, somebody found out the next Monday that they had Covid. So the whole live Xmas Eve extravaganza is cancelled. Just a live-stream sermon and some videos from past Christmases. It s a strange world out there.

It is a gorgeous day, sunny, mid 30’s, light winds, white snow cover that has not gone brown yet. Denver kids are staying home. Chicago kids tested negative and are at the in-laws in nearby Morris MN. Most likely here in a few days if they continue to test negative. Things are still hot around here and with Pat having multiple co-morbidities we are still being careful. Tonight we’ll be looking at each other across the table saying “so it’s you then”
