CHRISTMAS 2024With my
bride's continued health
issues this Christmas season, I only put up our Christmas tree in the
living room that consists of three sections with small multicolored lights
pre-installed. We had our youngest Grandson,
Xander McKnight
Gonzales and his sister
Miss Lily
decorated the tree under my bride's supervision, grin if you must!
I brought up from the basement a couple large totes
and smaller boxes with Christmas decor for the upstairs, and my bride decorated
the living room with my help of the Gonzales Grand kids. In the past, we decorated most
of the upstairs plus the
yards and had Christmas Street
Block
Parties.
We elected to do a Christmas dinner (party) on Christmas Eve around
2ish with finger foods. Yes, I am old
school; e.g., Breakfast, Dinner and Supper!
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR EVERY SEASON
With all the commercialization of our CHRISTMAS Holiday and so many
attempting to get on the Political Correctness Band Wagon of not
wishing to offend anyone and to me, they have no backbone and don't stand for
anything that really matters and mere puppets; "Pull my little strings and
I'll do anything." Without Jesus Christ our Lord and
Savior, there would be no Christmas since
Jesus is
the Reason for the Season and every season! Whatever your personal
Faith and Religion are, it is your choice and right; I choose to be a
Christian!

CHRISTMAS EVE FINGER FOOD PARTY - LUNCH
Attending were: Joyce Porter aka my bride, Bill Porter, Laura
Porter, Travis and Trevor Huneycutt. A couple of the Gonzales were
sick and they were unable to attend. Shane Hough came by later.
Our menu consisted of sausage balls, hot sausage dip, scoops, potato chips,
pig in a blanket, ham and cheese sandwiches, homemade Ranch dip in sour cream, two types of Vegan
dishes; e.g., Mushroom Stew and pasta salad, party nuts, deviled eggs, fresh fruit
wedges,
of which I forgot to bring out, sweet tea and filtered water. I failed to take a pix of the Mushroom stew and it was
delicious. Our Vegan grandson Travis Huneycutt said the Mushroom
stew was the best he had ever had!
Before our meal, I said a prayer to God through Jesus Christ our Lord
and Savior and thanked him for another Christmas eve, our many blessings
and to bless the food to the nourishment of our bodies.

OPENING GIFTS, ETC.
We had three (3) different times of opening gifts when Lisa, Xander
and Lily arrived. Also Shane Hough came later in the day as well
and forgot to bring out the camera.

Beautimous pears from Harry & David.
Lisa with a custom made
serving tray from yours truly. I
believe I gave out for Christmas gifts eleven (11) of the serving trays
with the brass handle insert reinforcement. They were definitely
labor intensive!

IN CLOSING
In closing, we had a wonderful Christmas Eve finger food party
and as I say at every chance, "Two of the Greatest Ships that ever sailed,
Friendship and Fellowship" and family and friends make life
worthwhile keeping God foremost in our lives.
I give God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, the Praise, Honor
and Glory in all things!

LEAVING ON A
SPIRITUAL NOTE
If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please take
this moment to accept him by Faith into your Life, whereby Salvation
