Tonight our 3 grandkids from Des Moines are coming down for the weekend. Our daughter will take our van to pick them and their mother up. Then they will go Christmas shopping for their gifts. Which works out good for all concerned as they will be heading off with the money we are giving them. Told wife that hopefully they will not get anything noisy!

With the grandkids up the street and the 3 coming down, just a question of how much of the candy, cookies, cakes and so forth my wife made will be left for me to enjoy. Wife told me to stash away what I want. But she stopped me, and allotted me a small portion as I was stashing it all (candy and cookies). The cookies are excellent, ginger and molasses, and having some now with my cinnamon coffee. Yes, got back on having cinnamon coffee again. Just put in cinnamon in the coffee grounds before brewing. Wife says I get carried away with the cinnamon and I say next pot should have more cinnamon!

There will not be a Nativity scene in Washington, DC, this Christmas. Supreme court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity scene at America’s capitol this Christmas season. Not for religious reasons, they simply could not find three wise men in the nation’s capitol.

P.S. No problem however in finding enough ASSES to fill the stable.

“Nah”, the man replies ”Up to my chin should do it.”
