Merry Christmas! We are doing Christmas a little differently this year. My husband, the Fire Chief, is covering one of his Captains right now who has small children at home. Since mine are teens and enjoy their sleep, he is at work so that his Captain can have Christmas morning with his little ones. We will be having our Christmas together later this afternoon when the Captain comes in to relieve my husband. I appreciated it when people did this for us on Christmas when our girls were tiny; I'm happy to reciprocate.
Last night was probably the most dramatic Christmas Eve we've ever had. A house directly behind mine caught on fire last night because of a Christmas tree. If any of you have a live tree, MAKE SURE IT IS WATERED! By the time the fire dept got there, the house was fully engulfed. It was a sobering sight. Everyone got out of the house, but I can't imagine it being salvageable. My husband thinks it can be, but from what I saw...horrific.
Anyway, wishing all of you a Merry/safe Christmas. Enjoy the day with your families. And if you have snow, take lots of pics of your White Christmas.
