We had a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and temps reaching into the upper 70's.  Following his walk, John made us a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs, potatoes, and toast.  When we were done eating, we got busy prepping the Christmas turkey for roasting.  We wanted to get the turkey done this morning so we could have our afternoon free.  While the turkey was in the oven, John headed into town to pick up the mail and then did a few errands around the fort.

Once the turkey was out of the oven, we decided it was just too nice to stay indoors, so we headed off to the golf course.  Even though the course is technically closed today and tomorrow, there were quite a few folks playing.  I rode along and watched John play and then helped out with the putting when he got to the greens.  He missed one putt, but I made mine which gave him a birdie on that hole. 

Stan M. stopped in for a visit around supper time.  After he left, we got changed and headed off to church for the Christmas Eve Candlelight service which was followed by cookies and other goodies in the fellowship hall.  

Once we got back home, we spent the evening watching our two favorite holiday movies--It's A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story.  John and I watch these two movies every Christmas Eve and never get tired of them.

We'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
