Christmas Day is an unusual day to do business but this morning Chantes, our handyman, called to ask if he could bring over the estimate for rebuilding and expanding the deck. And he wanted to say Merry Christmas too. We invited him over. Ken was preparing breakfast while I was listening to Christmas music and looking at e mails so we had nothing pressing. He is a busy man so after they made their Christmas prayers at church, he came over to talk with us. It was kind of fun to be discussing estimates on Christmas Day. "The better the day, the better the deed", we used to say.
And I talked on the phone to friends and relatives. From Texas to Ontario to British Columbia and Maryland, I kept the phone lines busy. Busy signals on the line made my life difficult and sometimes I never was able to get calls through.
The girls still enjoy their bags of Christmas goodies from us. And Christina too. We sat and drank a cup of Christmas tea before dining at the chinese restaurant. The food was excellent, a true feast and we left with several boxes of food which we sent home with Christina. The girls love to nibble at midnight. This evening, Ken and I ate a piece of Christina's chocolate cake, given to Ken for Christmas. It was a fitting end to an excellent Christmas Day in Mississippi.
