Christmas Morning

We arrived safe albeit late to my sister's home. We missed the Eve service at her church and seeing the Progeny's friends from two summers ago when he stayed for the entire summer.

The interstate travel in Kentucky east of Paducah until northwest of Nashvegas was the worst winter travel I have ever experienced. I sincerely doubt if KY DOT ever plowed an inch of their roads. (Perhaps relying on convicted cocaine possessor and former DC Mayor Marion Berry's famous snow removal plan, "Wait until spring.") TN DOT at least had road graders out even if they were ignoring the roads themselves and plowing only the shoulders.

This morning was amazing as I have to go back to my childhood to remember anytime seeing that many presents in one place. Mind you they weren't for our family back then, it was at a neighbor's house. And I remember just being in awe at the stacks of presents.


All in all, it has been a wonderful time so far. We met my sister and her husband at a restaurant in their town and had an excellent meal. The place was surprisingly packed on a Christmas Eve night.

If you haven't heard it yet, Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time with your family and be sure to hold each and every member dear and tell them you love them.
