Back from Christmas in Caseville...
I hope everybody had a great holiday! Hubby and I had one....great Christmas and New Year's. Hubby got up to Caseville a couple days before Christmas and I had the tree up and some outdoor decorations up. He brought up more lights and decorations for outside and he put everything up and I think we had about the only really lit up place along the road. It looked really nice.
Christmas Eve was fun. Hubby put on his Santa suit to fool the dogs. He went outside and knocked on the door, and when he came in they went nuts. I think Mini Sue knew who he was cause he has tricked her before, but now she is wise to it all....but I don't think Keno knew....at least not at first, but I think Mini Sue tipped him off at some point. Keno doesn't let anybody else pick him up, but Santa was sure picking him up okay...haha. I took lots of pictures but since my computer is dead to the world, I can't download them. (Yep, I'm still using the library computer)
Since we had Christmas to ourselves.....nobody coming over, nowhere to be....we stayed in our lounging pj's all day and took our time opening up all our gifts. We started opening at 12:30 and didn't open the last gifts until 5:30. We always give lots of gifts and take a few drink breaks along the way. I think we had almost 30 gifts to open all together. We always buy each other some main nice gifts but we also give each other a lot of little things....like candy, nuts, cocoa, coffee, little $1 gift type things. It's just fun to open up gifts...doesn't matter what it is. One of my favorite gifts was a magnetic notepad that said "Blondes have more fun" and a picture of one of those Smirfs with blonde hair.....he said it was only a dollar but I loved it! One of his favorites was this little squirrel figurine that I got at the thrift store. Anyway, we buy stuff like that.
New Year's Eve we went up to the Eagles. Most people brought some type of food to contribute to the food table so we had lots to eat. I took these cookies dipped in belgium chocolate and they were the only dessert type dish that was there, so I'm glad I decided on cookies. One of the women there opened up some bottles of champaigne and passed out glasses just before midnight. Then we went home and partied with the doggies the rest of the night. I stayed in bed all the next day, so I must have had a good time!!
I just got home Monday and hubby came home today. Now I have to decide what to do with my computer.
So the holidays are over for another year. We must have watched "A Christmas Story" a dozen times. I love watching the Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel and I'll miss that. The one with Billy Ray Cyrus "Christmas in Canaan" was pretty good. And I really loved "Holiday in Handcuffs" with that hunky Mario guy.
Except for my computer crashing at the end of the year, we had a pretty good year for a change.....now on to 2010....
...Is it Twenty Ten, or Two Thousand and Ten?? I'm hearing mostly Two Thousand and Ten and that's what I say. My opinion is that it isn't "Twenty" until the year 2100 and none of us will be around to say it anyway.
So Happy TWO THOUSAND AND TEN!!!!
