Well, our Christmas plans came crashing down like Rosie O'Donnell at an ice skating rink. Unexpected over night freezing drizzle and morning fog caused a number of cars to find their way into ditches and a few serious motor vehicle accidents. We made it about 7-8 miles down the road when we decided we were not going to risk it and came back home. Slippery roads are much more dangerous when visibility is also extremely limited and the conditions aren't supposed to improve in time to make the trip feasible. Fortunately my oldest sister and her husband/kids made it to the folks yesterday so they will still have a nice Christmas with family. Of course we had no meal plans for today and nothing thawed out, plus there are very few if any places open around here, so we had to get creative. The Mrs. decided to put together a broccoli, ham, and cheese quiche for lunch and I will be grilling up some German sausage with spatzel and kraut for dinner. Now we are debating which Christmas movies to watch. We have a new animated movie called Klaus, so that will one of them. We will also watch a classic movie like the 1940's "Shop Around the Corner" or the 1950's "White Christmas". We might also go sledding and will surely get out some board games. Our plans might have changed, but I have no intentions on allowing this Christmas being anything less than fun!
