The weather isn't great so my Aunt and Uncle decided to postpone until Sunday which is fine since Sunday is the kidlet's birthday!
My brother came over and we had chili, stuffed mushrooms, artichoke-spinach dip, pesto with italian baquette bread and spritz cookies for dessert. We exchanged gifts and my brother gave me a gift certificate to a local nursery (which will come in handy this spring), a topsy-turvy tomato hanger (can't wait to try it next year) and our mother's copper boiler which he spent hours re-polishing.
Mom purchased that boiler back in the 70's at an antique store when we moved into the house on Woodmayr Circle. It was always a fixture in her home. Sometimes it housed magazines, sometimes flowers and I alway remember it holding a least two gorgeous poinsettias at Christmastime. I love it and can't wait to find it a place in our home.
Here's my Topsy-Turvy Tomato planter -
I've told BOTH of the guys I live with that neither of them better dare wake me until at least 7:00AM. They both groaned at that. BOTH of them are early Christmas morning risers, I would rather not, but I usually lose that battle.
Fred has got the timer on the coffee pot set and ready to make the first pot at 6:00am. He better save some for me. :)
Hope all of my friends that had to travel are safe in their journey and we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

What a great Christmas you had! That copper pot is going to be beautiful. Hope you had a wonderful time with your family!
Your brother gave some wonderful, meaningful gifts! Go Larry:)
Heehee, my kids slept in until NINE am on Christmas...yes, even the baby! (Of course, Christopher was awake until 11:30pm b/c he couldn't sleep for the excitement of Santa, lol) Next year I'm dragging him with me to 11pm church on Christmas Eve if he can stay up this late;)
