I hope that everyone is able to spend time with their families this Christmas.  This really is a magical time of the year.  My heart goes out to those who are away from their families at this time of the year.

My whole family ,minus my youngest brother who is working, gathered for Christmas Eve Mass at the Convention Center here in Hattiesburg. We came back after Mass and sat around enjoyed some egg-nogg and watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.  JJ and I had to wait till everyone went to sleep to wrap our packages.  Everyone will come to the house tomorrow to open presents and then we will have a big family dinner.
