We had a happy ending to the Christmas saga!

MY side had a blast. We were laughing all night long. There was enough food to feed an army and it was sooooooo good. Picked up a new recipe that screams calories!!!

Played Taboo after dinner and boy were the cuss words flying-
Do you know how hard it is to NOT say a word on one of those lists? So funny!

The GOOD brother-in-law dropped by for a short visit. My family really likes him. All's well that ends well!

Next Christmas, my nieces go to their Dad's family. THAT's why I want to leave town. I dread the day Christmas will be without
young people due to their own traditions, extended families or location...

It was good to hear that others tried the Christmas escape. I told Hubby that you guys said it was great. Maybe there's a shot!

Now, we can look forward to NEW YEARS EVE!!!

oh my word. my bf and i spent four hours at the mall today. we did some shopping but the four hours were due to the chaotic crowds. it was so hard to walk around. i wanted to scream. but i got some great sales. i bought a pair of Sketchers boots that was marked down from $54.99 to $17.99!! and the best thing about it was that i didnt even know they were on sale until i was at the register. boy was i shocked!!:eek:
