Christmas shopping is finished

Carrie and I went shopping last night and got Robert's Christmas presents. We had a lot of fun and giggled a whole lot. It was a successful trip for both of us although there were moments we wondered if we were going to find what we wanted to find.

That means that the only thing I have left is my dad's socks. YEAY! Of course I'll probably think about presents for Jay, Candy, and Lukas slightly after the holiday (like after the next paycheck).

I still need to wrap the presents I bought last night and clean up the mess that was made making my brother's birthday gift. I have rice everywhere in my living room. *laughing* Rice, pine needles and fake snow.... it must be Christmas time.

Pop quiz, kids...How well do you know your Christmas story?

I don't care if you post answers here I just thought it might be fun to review the "facts" that we see in the nativity and hear in our carols. Even if you aren't Christian, you are innundated with this stuff during the Christmas season. I mean this all in good fun. I actually celebrate Christmas as a family holiday not as a religious one. I'll post answers tomorrow sometime.
