Subject: Merry Christmas to my ReBeL friends!

I hope you all are having as nice a Christmas Day as I have had. I was able to spend present opening time with the grandboys and dinner at my sister's. I had planned to do the dinner, but was hospitalized again for a few days last week, so my sister stepped in and made the meal. And my dh picked strawberries (yes, we can do that already here in FL) to have on top of cheesecake for dessert. Then the dh and I came home and watched Jean Shepard's "A Christmas Story" - such a cute and funny movie!

Some of you may have read below that my seven-year-old grandson had informed his dad that he didn't believe in Santa (or the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy) anymore. Well, he decided to hedge his bets and left an elaborate handmade card for Santa and carrots for his reindeer. Here's the note in the card (notice how he got his full name in there two times):

"Dear Santa! From: Merritt Rice
I have bene exster good this year. Can you plesy give me a new DSIxl rmre.
Love, Merritt Rice
I Love you Santa!"


I do love the spelling - we figured out that rmre means armor - it's a Nerf cover for the hand-held DSI game.

Then, when they were outside testing Santa's gift - remote controlled monster trucks - he spied pieces of carrot and carrot tops in the driveway. He turned to his dad and said, "See, Daddy, see?" and shook his head up and down as if all were proven to be true. He never mentioned the fact that Santa didn't give him the gift he requested (he already has one in good shape), and played with his monster truck almost all day.

I'm in total agreement with Bo and Merry - I'd just as soon forget 2011 (at least most of it) and am looking forward to a healthier 2012. And I also wish all of my ReBeL friends a healthy and happy New Year!
