Merry Christmas. Last year we had snow and cold temperatures. Today’s high will be in the upper 50’s with 15 to 20 mph winds gusting to 40 and 50 and mostly cloudy skies.

We will be opening gifts and eating. No main course meal instead Frances will make ham sliders and we will snack on finger foods instead of her and Al spending all day in the kitchen.

Frances and Al arrived yesterday mid afternoon. I had gone to the gym in the morning then did the laundry while waiting on them to arrive.

They brought up fried chicken and fixings from Publix for dinner. Frances is fixing chili for tonight’s dinner. They brought up several homemade desserts, snacks, and the food for Christmas day.

Today is partly cloudy and breezy but warm with temps in the low 50’s.

Sunny but cold and windy today. Temperatures in the upper 30’s but the wind chill is down in the low 20’s.

I volunteered at the bookstore. Sorta slow this morning but it picked up this afternoon. A lot of folks buying books for Christmas gifts. We were close to $100 by when I left and there still some folks in the store.

Cloudy today with temperatures in the upper 30’s and calm winds.

I ran errands in town this morning including a stop at the grocery store. I only needed salad stuff and eggs for holiday preparations. I found a couple of items for the pantry to add to my cache.

Not much else going on for the rest of the day.
