The Busy-ness of Christmas

We went to my ham club's Christmas dinner last night. Other than the awards parade (the dinner is also the last meeting of the year so people are honored for their contributions to the club and the "ham of the year" is named), it made for a pleasant evening. Nothing wrong with the awards, other than it's kinda boring if you aren't receiving one. Darn, missed "ham of the year" (again!). But the food was good and we sat with a couple that includes one of Pat's quilting buddies (they're everywhere!). Tonight we are taking Amelia and Ann-DuPree down to Callaway Gardens to see the Christmas lights there. We will spend the night, which is part of the treat for them, and be home tomorrow. It's just that this is the time of the year when it seems every day has something Christmas-related going on. It's the home stretch, it'll soon be over (for another year).
