On Christmas Eve...the children were all hushed fast a sleep in their beds...Hubby and me had just finished putting the last gifts under the tree when -FlAsH-BuZZ-out goes the power! No problem we said with a smile we have a nice fireplace -so we stoked the fire and went off to our beds. We dreamt of power restored come morn...
As we awoke-Nope-no power and snow fell-again! Being full of grit and Christmas spirit -not willing to let this get us down we once again stoked the fire and got on with our Christmas traditions...
As we sat there all dressed in our winter coats and covered in blankets-so filled with Christmas Joy~And although our teeth did chatter~we didn't get annoyed...
With smiles on our faces and glee in our hearts...
So many gifts to unwrap-what fun we did have!
When all of a sudden whats that? Could it be Santa-did he forget something-I shuttered!
A clutter and loud bump-so much of a racket-could that be reindeer dancing on our roof top?
Nope! Just a big giant tree branch crashing through the roof top the sliding glass door did shatter...
For sure this was not Ole Saint Nick but a Branch sticking right through
But no matter~what luck we did proclaim~how thankful no one was hurt!
Now we did clean up that big mess with just a little fuss and furry.
But we did it right quick! We did it in a hurry!
An appetite for Christmas dinner we worked up-but what??? We forgot no power for that pot luck!
So mom the good little girl scout did shout "Don't pout~I will get out my dutch oven and cook up our holiday spread in the fireplace just like an oven!"
Ham, scalloped potatoes, yams and green beans! YUM~
Why it was the best darn Christmas dinner we ever had eaten!
They might not pick up our trash...
Or deliver the mail in nearly a week...
The power is out but we won't yell and shout!
"We are too full of Holiday Cheer" said my sweet dears!
Low and behold our dad did bring a generator
-"Oh Joy"-
Now mom can blog! And a movie we can watch! All hooked up for a long winters night at least we have light! Be safe and stay warm-Pay no attention to that darn storm! I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas~And with that my dear blogger friends I bid you good night!~Tam ;)
