merry christmas – not white, but merry… sort of

Dec 25, 2023

It’s not often you can go outside on Christmas Eve in Indiana without a coat. This year was the year!

The winter wheat is coming up nicely giving me some Christmas green as a view. Y’all know I wanted snow, but the chances weren’t that great — and it was certainly a fail this year. Guess I could move to Michigan — they had 18″ last year?

Perry’s looking for employees and a new job. 🙁

Poor Perry had to work last night on Christmas Eve. We’d planned to have a few people over and play cards, but that was spoiled when his assistant manager didn’t show up or call in. Yes, he also has to work today on Christmas, and his relief person is… guess who!? Yup, same one that was a no show last night. He may be pulling a double. Again.

Heartfelt Christmas wishes to you and yours.

May this season be filled with the warmth of love, the joy of shared laughter, and the magic of cherished moments with family and friends.

Now you know – 5 fun Christmas facts:

  1. It’s a tradition in Japan to eat KFC for Christmas. Orders must be placed two months in advance.
  2. 1 in 3 men wait until Christmas Eve to do their shopping.
  3. Bing Crosby’s version of “White Christmas” is the highest selling single of all time.
  4. The abbreviation X in X-mas is not really an abbreviation. It stands for “Chi”, meaning Christ in Greek.
  5. The city of Vancouver, Canada claims to be the birthplace of the first “ugly Christmas sweater” party.
