Yepper, some of us have to keep things chugging along! At work here and not by choice. Its all good, will do the santa thing when I get off. I would also like to extend my very best wishes to IBoats and all its members, and a happy new year.I do not post much, but logon every day to read posts. Coolest site, and very addictive!

Yes, I am getting ready to go in. This is the first year we exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve instead of waking everyone up early. Oh well, Maybe I will be off one year.

Re: Anyone else working Christmas?

Thanks and the same to you and yours also. Normally Im in bed by 2am our time but didnt get home from MILs until 12:30 am. Well ok left her place at 11:30 after finishing the smoked turkey for tomorrow but had to stop by the local dinner and give some of it to the waitress and cook who knew we would be driving by :) <br />Finished everything a hour ago but was still wound up so I just heated some milk and figured<br />I would do a little reading here then hit the sack. Hope its a quiet night for you. <br />Enjoy the santa thing as they grow up fast!<br /><br />Link

Yep, just went out and scraped the ice off the sled.<br />Got another 50 or so kids to see this morning and then it's off to to the farm for the family get together.

I have missed my fair share also. My wife had to work last night but was able to get off at 3 am. Just in time to help set up Santa. Hope everything goes good for ya'll and enjoy the time that you will be together.

Well just finished up the Christmas thing and am pretty tired.<br />Took care of 102 young boys and girls over the last 2 days plus all the family thing and it was sure a satisfing 2 days for me.<br />Nothing like seeing the smiling faces of them sick children when they see "Santa" show up with something for them. <br /><br />Makes me kinda swell up inside knowing that I brought a little happiness to a somewhat not so happy face. :) <br /><br />Think I will take a nap now. :D
