My family is headed to Happy Valley, so we’re busy making preparations. I spent a good chunk of the day knocking things off the HoneyDo list, and Kim is up much later than usual, cleaning, doing laundry, and getting the kitchen ready for tomorrow’s marathon baking session. We actually went out to the tree farm our friends own to cut our Christmas tree Saturday. Our favorite is the concolor fir–it makes the house smell like oranges!
Ever since I started working in a church we’ve done the Sublett family Christmas at Thanksgiving. It’s pretty tough to get away at Christmas, so my side of the family gathers for the Turkey, then exchanges Christmas presents. It’s been a pretty good tradition, I suppose. The kids and cousins all get to spend some time together, and that’s always a good thing.
My Maw Maw (grandmother, for those of you who don’t speak Southern) is coming. We weren’t sure she’d be up for the trip. So we’re really excited.
Our house isn’t spacious by USAmerican standards, and we’ll all be fighting for bathroom space, but it should be fun.
