After 9 PM by grammyn

After 9 PM

Midnight mass, meat pies (a family tradition) open presents, go to bed. Get up 5 hours later start turkey, help make a bacon beef log for the smoker, rearrange furniture to accommodate the number of guests for dinner, blah, blah, blah. Work all day for a fun filled gathering of family and friends for supper then a couple more hours of clean up and rearrange furniture back to original places. Bed time! No picture yet! Can it really be this hot outside at almost 9:30 at night?!

"'Twas the night of Christmas
When all through the house
The AC was running
Because this is the South!
Exhausted. going to bed. Love you all ! Good night!
Crazy temperature. It's 8:00pm in L.A. and my weather app says it's 48ยบ. I don't doubt it...it's downright chilly out. Brrrr!

Sounds like you had a busy and enjoyable day. Merry Christmas.

I think you gave every one the best Christmas but one day, someone hopefully will do the same for you. You will just sit in a chair and let it all happen!

What a gorgeous shot. You did a lot for Christmas. I hope you had a lot of help. I agree with Maggiemae that one day maybe you can sit and others will do the work. Wow, it is so warm there. When the sun goes down it drops to so cold here. 30 overnight for the next week. No rain in site for now though. Lots of snow in our mountains so looking promising.

Sounds like a great Christmas at your house! I think your photo sums up Christmas along the East coast.

Merry End of Christmas Day! I felt quite at loose ends yesterday evening and realized that it had to do with the anticlimax of the production of Christmas being over.

Love that sky, I'd take a little of that heat. I miss going to Spain for Christmas. Merry Christmas Katy, here is to another year of progressive good health

Oh heavens, sounds like a busy Christmas Day! But I'm sure you all had a good time! That sounds nice and warm for that time of night - thought it was winter in your part of the world ;)

@kwiksilver it was a very crazy day ( which is why there's a picture of my iPad ) but you're right it was a wonderful time! That is too nice and too warm for this time of year!! I thought it was winter too! I need winter for some relief from my hot flashes and I'm not getting it!

Yum! I used the AC toooooo!

Fun editing my friend.

@bill_fe Thanks but since confession is the order of the day there was no editing involved! this is a simple shot of the weather app on my ipad.

Meat pies. Bacon beef logs, turkey!

Merry Christmas! We had a warm Christmas too- although not a 73 degree one!
