My greatest pleasure is making everyone else happy and seeing them open their presents. I&#8217;m at the point in my life where it really is better to give than to receive.

Pretty sick huh?<\/p>\n<p>Lori works until about noon and I&#8217;ll run a few errands and then we&#8217;re all going to church at 5.

They have an 11pm service but we&#8217;re hopefully asleep by then.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was busy busy busy. The house is clean awaiting our guests tomorrow and yes the stockings are hung by the chimney, or fireplace, with care, so we&#8217;re pretty much ready.<\/p>\n<p>Time to get to the gym, hope you all are well, take care and God Bless, ho ho ho!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it&#8217;s here, arrived pretty fast didn&#8217;t it.
