Happy Christmas Eve Day....

A sunny but EXTREMELY windy morning here in the valley. Just came back from a walk with Rudy and the wind makes it feel much colder than the actual temperature. Hopefully those winds will ease up a little as the day progresses. I imagine there are some last minute shoppers out who are not enjoying fighting these "brisk" gusts from mother nature.

For the past couple of weeks I think I've listened to just about every Christmas cd in my arsenal (I have many.) I enjoy them all but I probably like most the compilations and of course, my Dean Martin Christmas cd. :-)

We did get out last night and made the short trip into Apt to try and take some pics of the Christmas lights. There weren't as many as I thought there might be. Since I'm still in the development stage of taking night photos the results were not as good as I hoped they might be. I still might be able to get some "perfect" shots before they all come down after Christmas.

Today we travel to see Alicia's daughter and her family for Christmas dinner this evening. I've promised I won't stuff myself with all the great food that will laid out before my eyes. Not sure if I can keep that promise....it will be a "game time" decision I imagine. I hope everyone enjoys the season no matter where you are or what you're doing.
