My favorite day of the year is Christmas Eve. We always go to church. Come home have a nice meal. Open a couple presents, stay up late and then.... the anticipation for the next day.... It is wonderful!
This year, we went to church, came home, had a big meal, had Jerome & Chris & his girlfriend Angie over. Then, opened a few presents. BUT, after everyone left and it was time for bed. The toilets began their gurgle song. Bloop, bloop, bloop. By midnight, everything was backing into the house. We cleaned up one mess just to have another mess show up. Whew. I gave up about 2am. (You have to be asleep when Santa comes) Gary mopped up until about 3am. Then, he got up about 7am. We got up about 9, opened presents, then Gary's son Mike and girlfriend Wren came over. We had pancakes after they left. (Is that breakfast or lunch?) I crashed about 4pm and the plumber came at 4:30pm. $300.00 dollars later. Roto rooter cleared the holly roots out of the pipe and crisis over. I'm just glad we were up so late. How far does stuff flow if no one hears it?
