It's a little less than two weeks and Christmas will be here. This week we enjoyed a family gathering as a preview to Christmas. Our daughter Jocelyn and her husband John and children will be visiting his family in Arizona for Christmas this year. This required an early gift exchange among the little cousins who pick names each year. The gift is usually something they picked from the dollar store for the person whose name they chose. The adults have a "less than 10$" white elephant exchange. We enjoyed a "taco" dinner together.
