It feels good to be back home in Vernon. James and I love it here. We unloaded my car and started putting things away. James hung the wreath on our front door. I set out two nativity sets and some poinsettas (fake), and put tablecloths and center pieces on both tables. Our house is beginning to look more Christmasy. We still need to fix the lights on the tree and decorate it. James said he would do the lights tomorrow. He said he was too busy today.
James made us a delicious lunch. A loaded ham sandwich and a salad. Very tasty. As you can tell, I am all about the food. After lunch we laid down for a nap. I was up within an hour but James slept for 3 hours. I guess he needed it.
This afternoon I made two Texas sheetcakes for our ward party. We had a potato bar and James helped serve. I was part of the entertainment. I got up with the young men and young women and sang Christmas carols. After the party was over James and I both stayed and help clean. We were some of the last to leave. It was a fun, low-key evening. We sat by Chris Skousen and his wife Becky. I enjoyed visiting with Becky. James worked with Chris in the High Priest's. They are in their fifties and they are taking care of his parents. That's why they moved to Vernon.
When we got home we followed our December tradition of watching a Christmas movie every evening.
Here are a few we have watched so far: The 2nd Day of Christmas, Annie Claus is Coming to Town, The Road to Christmas (one of my favorites), The Christmas Card (another favorite), A Nanny for Christmas, A Christmas Wish, A Christmas Proposal, and Dear Santa. I have to admit I have watched some of these alone when James is out of town. We actually started watching them around Thanksgiving time.
