Holiday Cheer and Old Friends

I'm a little slow this morning...too much holiday cheer at my husband's neighborhood Christmas party. The neighborhood my husband grew up in was extremely tight; all the kids played together and all the moms had cocktails before the dads came home from work. One of the families still lives in the neighborhood and they host a holiday party every year. What I find fascinating about this party is the ability for these old friends to come together and just pick up right where they left off last year. There is always good food, good drinks, and funny growing up stories. Just when I think I've heard all the old neighborhood hijinx stories someone pulls out another one. My sweet daughter said throwing leaves in the chiminea was the best part of the party, not Santa coming and giving her a present but throwing leaves in the fire.

I've got to get my act together...got to make cookies for Santa!
