Yep, it was a hot one. And when I took Samantha home tonight at 8:30, it was still 90 degrees out there along with high humidity that we’ve had all day. Our poor little air conditioner here in the living/dining/kitchen area just couldn’t match it. It got up to 86 degrees here in the house with it running, so we turned on the AC in the three bedrooms and left the doors open. It finally got down to 80 in the house by about 6 pm.
But it’s been a great day. We delivered some more caramel corn we made early this morning. It was fun to see the surprise and pleasure on the faces of folks we visited. And little Siska Rollason yelled, “And we get to keep the red bowls too!” They were just simple plastic bowls, but she was excited about them. Matilda Shirley, last night, asked if they had to return the bowl. Kids are cute.
We hit the grocery store. It was amazing; a million people were there, but we only waited one or two minutes in line behind one other customer. They had all their checkout lanes open. We came home, made a vegetable dip, a cheese ball, a white-chocolate covered mixture of cereal, M&M’s, pretzels, and peanuts. For our “fancy” Christmas Eve dinner, we had bought a roasted chicken and some cole slaw. We ate chicken sandwiches with rolls from our bread run. The chicken was on special and it was cheaper to buy it cooked than buy a raw one and cook it myself.
Then we put out a bunch of candy, nuts, cookies, veges and dip, mince tartlets, etc. I picked up Samantha and we waited a while because Diane Morato said maybe they would come. They didn’t show up so we began to munch and watch The Testament. It’s such a good movie and portrays most of the life of Christ. It was perfect for Christmas Eve.
That really would be odd to have it be so hot for Christmas -- but I guess in the end, it really doesn't matter, does it?! Glad you were able to have an enjoyable Christmas Eve together!
