I really had to laugh at my brother last night. He lives over 1000 miles away from us so obviously he won’t be home for the Christmas season. But he did place a phone call last night to me so we could catch up on all that’s been happening in our lives over the past couple of months. He was talking about all the baking his wife has been doing (he loves his food) and then commented on how he was thinking about picking up some Decaslim to counteract all the Christmas eating he plans on doing. Well, leave it to a man to only be concerned with the food this time of year. But I’m glad to hear that he’s doing good and even though he can’t be home during this time of year, I’m sure he will have a great Christmas. Well, by the sounds of it he will be eating pretty good, so to him that’s a good Christmas.

Last week my daughter was supposed to participate in a pretty big Christmas concert. She plays the violin. But due to a massive snowstorm, they had to postpone it. Well it is scheduled to go tonight and it looks like the weather is finally cooperating with us. They need to be at the school at 6:00 and will begin playing. The concert is set to go for two hours. Even though this will be a long tiring night for her (she’s only 10) she is really looking forward to the big event. And, I’m looking forward to hearing her play. They have practiced really hard and I’m sure they will all do a fine job.

And…the best part. She will be the lead in one of the songs. She is quite excited and nervous about this. But this is why she has practiced so hard so I know she will do good.
