Christmas Jammies
Remember the crisis of the nearly-ruined flannel? Well, nine washings later, and a full-day-long soak in Oxy-Clean saved the flannel, and here we are on Christmas eve in our flannel jammie pants (except for Paul, who declined to participate in the flannel fun, sigh!).
I’ll do a longer blog post soon, but it is hard to get 15 consecutive minutes on my computer with the boys home from school. The best news is that Mom sent a very nice check for Christmas, so with that, plus savings, plus the gift Paul and the boys gave me for my birthday in October, I will soon be the happy owner of a new Mac laptop!!!! Yes, I’m abandoning the PC in favor of the Mac and can’t wait. Once I have the laptop, I won’t have to fight for time on my own computer, since we’ll clear the files from the desktop (to make it run less slowly) and keep it out for the boys, who will never get to use the laptop…wheeee!
Hope you all had a happy holiday (of whatever persuasion). We changed things this year and had Christmas dinner on the 24th, so the 25th was gloriously relaxed….. no rush from presents to cooking and working all day. I think we’ll do this again! It was the nicest Christmas in years, and Paul actually thought about things I’d like and surprised me with all sorts of little goodies…. so I am very, very happy. Blessings be to all!

You will absolutely love your Mac laptop. I switched from a PC last year and am giddy over how well my Mac works. And I used to make my living writing PC documentation!
Mac has great software too. I used their iWeb software to create my own website (www.mariapeagler.com) and blog and it’s much easier than Blogger. Only drawback is it’s not very Google-friendly and you can’t categorize your posts (yet). Good luck with the Mac, and if you ever run into a problem, email me and I’ll be happy to help!

Hi Sarah,
Your holiday sounds delightful! We did the same thing, with our big celebration on the 24th. We liked it quite a bit and plan to do the same next year as well.
Love the jammies! I am a huge jammie fan. Shocking, isn’t it?
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Joan, Michael, and Honey Lazy, I mean Hawley.

Paul would have looked smashing in flannel. Still, a lovely photograph!
