Merry Christmas. I hope all had a blessed day. We spent the day with the Booth family and as you may guess it was a great time. The day started at Tara and Dennis's home for breakfast and to watch the boys open a few gifts. After that we came back to Teresa and Jack's house and got things ready to go to Mike's. At Mike's there was the usual feast. The dessert table was groaning from all the choices. As we have said before there does not seem to be a bad cook amongst the Booth/Burns clan.
The highlight of the day is the White Elephant gift exchange. Some members of the family take this vey seriously and thank goodness Jackie is one, because she was able to procure me a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. There were a few other nice gifts but there were also some stinkers. Apparently Jackie Burns doesn't take home White Elephant gifts she doesn't like because there was more than one gift that she had received some previous year that was left and therfore wrapped up for this years event by Mike.
Yesterday Jackie and I accepted a position for the summer in Nova Scotia. We will be working in a park called Five Islands Ocean REsort and RV Capground. It is right on the Bay of Fundy with some of the world's largest tide changes. We will be there from the middle of May to the begining of September. It should be a great summer.
The day was great and really a blessed time spending Christmas with a great family.
Remember the reason for the season... and thank God for all his blessings.
