RangerSteve: I'm very sorry to hear that you will be out in the snow/sleet/rain that they're predicting for the Delaware Valley on Christmas Day. I'll be thinking of you. Thank you for being there and watching out for everyone else's safety.

Every year I tell myself that I should drive over and watch the Crossing re-enactment but I never do it. What time does the ceremony start? Is there a website with more info about it?

To answer your question, my niece and her husband have to work on Christmas Day (she's an Emergency Medical Technician, he's a paramedic), so the extended-family gathering is being postponed until Saturday December 28th so that they can attend. On Christmas Day it'll be just my bachelor-brother and me (the bachelorette); we'll visit my father in his half of the room at the retirement community, then go back to bro's place and microwave some Hormel turkey and mix a box of stuffing... unless the snowstorm makes driving too nasty, in which case I'll stay home with the cat. The presents can wait if they have to!

Anyway, Steve, be careful out there in the bad weather, get back inside where it's warm and dry as soon as you can, and then have a merry Christmas evening!

Thanks again,
Sharon
