HEY ALL!! keep the gift, return the gift, re-gift the gift

    "    Well you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes, and the chauffeur drives your car, you let everybody know, .. .. your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in St. John's wood, your father'd be there with her, if he only could, but don't play with me, .. .. your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the score, now she gets her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge anymore, so don't play with me, .. .. now you got some diamonds and you will have some others, but you'd better watch your step girl, or start living with your mother    "    Well had a great time over the Christmas holiday. My eldest daughter and son-in-law made in down. Had my sister and family over for gifts. I will say we, as a family, do a pretty good job of gift giving. Usually nothing that is really out of sorts. Now, there are a few things that you may scratch your head on, but all in all, we do a good job. Has WAY TOO much to eat as well!! But, that's what the holidays are for?? Right??  Got a decent amount of snow yesterday. Started about mid-morning, and continued till late afternoon. Probably six hours or so. I think about inch, maybe inch and half. It was completely off the road by this morning. It just stayed at 33 degrees and snow yesterday. Good to see. It was kind of nice. Still nursing a stiff and sore lower back, and an aching hip. I think I am gonna have to go see the doctor and figure this out. But, I am also sure it will be after the new year. Time to get back to normal or so now. Back to eating the right stuff and so on. Was able to get registered with my new health insurance company today and finished up a couple of other things on-line. So getting settled in. I don't think I will do anything special for the New Years celebration. I haven't in several years. CHOW MOI!!
