We have started all our Christmas events. Celia caught sight of her present and felt she should get it today. We tried to hold out til tomorrow, but you tell a dog that she has to wait til Christmas for her bone. She was just standing in the kitchen barking at the top of the fridge till we gave in. Now she is one happy girl. Bayley also got a rawhide, but he is smart enough to know not to attempt eating it in front of Celia or leave it unattended because then she will claim it and never give it back. So Bayley has taken up residence under our chair and refuses to come out.

We have our new table all set up and ready to go for tomorrow's dinner. (Thanks mom and dad!) Dan is really excited about it. He wouldn't let me put a table cloth on it because "it is just so pretty."

Tonight we are attending our church's Christmas eve service and then coming home to have a nice dinner and decorate some cookies and watch a Christmas movie. I think we will watch a Muppet Christmas Carol. We'll see.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas. Remeber the true reason for the season is Christ's birth. Enjoy any gifts Santa may leave you also. God bless.
