Christmas Is Getting Close . . .

Time is flying by. Christmas is just a few days away. And we are preparing for Master Will's visit along with his parents, of course. They will escape from the frozen North in Wisconsin to the balmy Texas weather.

Son James will bring over Tamales Christmas Eve, so that we can enjoy the luck of the Mexican's. At least I have been told it is supposed to be lucky to eat Tamales around Christmas time, if not for Christmas dinner. Don't think we will do them Christmas Day as the the annual smoked turkey is en route as I write. Sort of a tradition to have a Greenberg smoked turkey from Tyler. Texas. We started getting the smoked turkey when we live in California.

We have ordered up a case of Desert Rose Commentivia Salsa for James. It is getting harder to get, we think the ownership has changed hands again. We first got it when visiting with Pete and Judie Hammerton in Tucson, AZ. Bought it at a swap meet out of the trunk of a car. It was in Mason Jars in those days. Now we get it in jars half the size and twice the price but it is the same formulation.

Soon we will all gather for the gift exchange and the big meal.

Merry Christmas to you all. And to all a Happy New Year!
