I Like Thursday #417

Good morning, and happy Thursday, friends!  Thank you so much for all of your kind notes about my mom.  Friends are sure good therapy.   So is a Christmas tree - light in this dark time of year really helps me.


Laughter is good medicine, too.  We watched a fun Christmas movie over the weekend - "Red One" on Prime Video.  It is not your typical Christmas movie, pretty wild and crazy, but fun.  I especially loved Dwayne Johnson (the Rock!) as Santa's Head of Security!  


I've been enjoying this book this week.  I haven't read a WWII historical fiction book in a long time, but glad I read this one.  It has some interesting twists and turns!  And I do love a coffee date with a good book, too!


LeeAnna's question of the week is about our Christmases growing up - what were they like?  That is a fun time to think about!  My dad was a mechanical engineer and he liked everything just so.  That means that on Christmas morning, we had to stay in our bedrooms until 7 am.  When we came downstairs, we first had to eat some breakfast, and then finally got to open our presents.  Oh, wait, there would be the picture in our jammies first!

With all of that, I'm sure you know, too, that we opened our presents one at a time.  I don't remember what order we did it in - knowing my dad there was a plan for that.  Youngest to oldest, maybe?    Good memories!
