Here Comes Santa Claus

Just a slight twist to the plans… My parents are staying over for Christmas Eve. Seems that they smelled smoke and it was the breaker box. Everyone is safe – they smelled the fire before it became a major catastrophe – just the breaker box was in flames.
Mom said it took the fire department 15 minutes to get there (she wasn’t thrilled about that) but that they had it out by then. The concern is there’s no “main” to shut off the electrical. The FD checked it and they packed up and came over her for the night. Dad will likely go check things out in the morning.
Dinner was wonderful… my potato soup just gets better and better even if I do say so myself ;0) Brunch is made and there’s a plan in place for lupper. All the stockings are stuffed and the gifts are wrapped now – just need to put bows on them, write the note from SC, trashed the cookies (they’re old…) need to wrap the clock I made for the in-laws. I got all the photos printed for FIL’s album finally but just don’t have time to do it now. Maybe I’ll slip an IOU in his stocking…
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel… I’m hoping to be in bed by 2:30, which would be GREAT for me on a Christmas Eve…
