Early Christmas Gifts

The first early Christmas gift I got was in the first week of December. A very nice letter from the Illinois Tollway came telling me that when I was back there last fall, I missed 2 tolls in Chicago and I'd better pay them and the fine that goes with it. I knew I accidentally missed one, but two?! Well, they got their $42. Wow, I'm sure glad I could contribute my part to the state of Illinois. Merry Christmas.

The 2nd early Christmas gift was this:

This is about our 5th snowstorm since December 1. From the past years it seems that we have snow 50% of the time for Christmas day. We're supposed to get more snow over the weekend and the 1st part of next week. I believe we have a good chance of having a White Christmas, which I like.

Today was Jordan's Christmas Chorus program. I wanted to share one of the songs they did but it wouldn't load. So instead I just posted a picture. It was a very good performance. The music teacher does a fine job of working with these kids.
