Christmas day began with Santa playing a cruel joke on us....a furnace that would not start and this is after leaving him rum and eggnog. Luckily we have a gas fireplace so we huddled by the warmth to open our gifts. Rob called our local gas man and one of the joys of living in a small community is that even on Christmas day one can get service. So by early afternoon we had our furnace outfitted with a new blower and a new appreciation for central heating and travel in The Bahamas.
Despite the way the day started Santa did end up spoiling us once again. Rob's picture shows him with Peter's whale pictures from last year's trip to the Dominican Republic. The whale that we saw was near Big Sand, a remote island between the Turks and Caicos and the DR. It was so exciting to see the humpbacks and I would return there just to see the whales again.
We joined our friends Brian and Gayle for a wonderful meal to end the day. The day had started out cool but had ended with the warmth of friendship.
Now we look forward to a January Christmas and Hannukah celebration with Lynn and Peter on First Edition.
