christmas preparations

I've been so far behind in my postings and trying to post chronologically. But I feel that I must recognize the activities of Christmas and make a current post. So to all three of my followers - this is for you.

Dec 23. Brett was in constant contact with the North Pole.

Dec 23. Laurel and Tyler reading their lists and checking them twice. I'm not feeling very hopeful for many gifts this year. I don't know why, it's just a feeling I have.

Christmas eve. There's always jigsaw puzzles to be done in preparation for Christmas. The pressure is on.

The Christmas jigsaw was especially difficult this year so we had to go international and import a crack Jigsaw Puzzle team from the north and south of Ireland. Ian, Darryl, Brian and Roy took a lot of pressure off the Canadian team. They were a tremendous help.

The atmosphere was very intense and quiet. There was not a lot of talking, probably due to the language barrier.

The Canadian Jigsaw team is feeling much more relaxed now after the help of the Irish team.
