December 23 to 25, 2014; Christmas with family

DEC 23 Tuesday; 2 days to Christmas!
More driving today!  I went to Richmond and a 2.5 hour trip turned into 5 hours because of two serious accidents; one on Hwy 17 and the other on Hwy 1.  It rained all day and I have no doubt it played a part into the mishaps.  Anyway, I made it back to the office and after unloading the truck, I helped in the year-end inventory.  At 3 pm, Rochelle and Kevin separated the presents received from companies they deal with and we split them between all the employees; I got two bottle of wines.  I got the windshield on the Jeep replaced today; I had a crack in it and 3 chips ready to spread.  A quiet evening at home and I finally heard from my brother Johnny.  He says he will be at Rochelle for dinner on X-mas day!


DEC 24, Wednesday; Christmas Eve
Last partial day of work for this year!  I am off now until January 5th.  I went in at 8 am, took the truck I drive over to the garage down the road to have the batteries secured; there’s been a rash of battery theft from business trucks in town lately.  The Delivery truck always stays at the shop, overnight and week-ends whereas the other three are taken home.  I was home by ten!  Well, as I suspected, Johnny never showed up and phoned around 4 with some excuses.  No surprise there!!!
We had a quiet evening at home enjoying a drink and watching some Christmas show.


DEC 25, Thursday; MERRY CHRISTMAS!
 We had a nice breakfast then got ready for a busy day!  I packed all the presents in the Jeep and boiled the potatoes for the dinner later (2 full pot).  Brother Johnny arrived at 12:30 pm which allowed us to catch up to his news.  We drove to Rochelle and Kevin at 2 pm where Jeffrey had already arrived.  Doreen and Gord got there around 3 pm and the grand-kids finally arrived around 5 pm.  We soon were seated at the table (13 in all) and proceeded to devour the food that Rochelle and Kevin worked so hard in preparing.  It was delicious.  Afterwards, we moved to the Living Room and Santa (read me) gave out the presents.  We had fun and it was so nice to be in the presence of all the kids.  I really enjoyed my moments.  Soon, it was time to move on and we got home around midnight  
IT WAS A FANTASTIC DAY!!!
