This morning we were surprised to see that Santa had left my husband a huge stuffed Tiger in the living room.  It made a "grrrrrrrrrrr" sound and looked so real.....Our German Sheppard "Shadow", was terrified of the Tiger.  Shadow "my protector" had his tail between his legs.  Bless his heart!  We had to prove the stuffed animal was not as real as he thought!!!!  It was funny, because once I even walked past it and jumped in fear...We have had a great Christmas so far.  My little Nephew and Granddaughter have had a ball..  Kids are what makes Christmas so special, but my favorite thing was my dad reading the Christmas Story from Luke 2.  This was the first Christmas I can remember ever doing that.  Remembering the true meaning of Christmas is what it is all about!!

My favorite gift this year was a red Kitchen Aid coffee maker.  Wow, it makes 14 cups of coffee..  Bunn only makes 10.....

Merry Christmas to all....
