Four more days and the first wave of the Pearlington Team (8 of us) will be winging our way to the deep south for Christmas….well, we’re not going there for Christmas, we’re going there to work, but it just so happens that some of us will be there for Christmas…and New Years! The day after Christmas 2 people return home, and 11 more arrive for week two. My wife and I will be there for both weeks and are both very excited about going and doing and being!
I think everyone on the team is bringing something personal and “Christmasy” with them to help spruce up the house we‘ll be staying in, so that it will feel like we’re not so far from home and family. It’ll be a house filled with different family’s traditions…No surprise that my tradition has to do with food!!! For me, it’s not Christmas without Shrimp Scampi and pasta, so I will be in the kitchen on Christmas Eve.…a definite family tradition!! (now you want to come too, don't you?!)
I was looking through some old photos and found these couple of me and Santa! The first one I look pretty excited about talking to the fat man…although he looks a little young under that beard.
The second photo made me laugh because I look bored and unimpressed with this storefront Santa…and I think, as I look closer at him….is that?....no, it can’t be…..it is!…it’s Unkle Sherman!!!
Here is one of my faves of Emma….
This is her first Christmas!
Could that be any cuter?!
I want to wish all of you out there a great season…thank you so much for all your love and support…and whatever it is you celebrate at this time of year, even if you don’t celebrate anything, do it with those people you love and care about the most.
And if you can’t be with them…go be with your family!!
Wacka-Wacka!
Happy Happy Joy Joy !!
