3rd Day Of Christmas.

It was another night of back and forth, but it should not matter. The part that matters the most is spending time with Family and Friends and sharing our Love. Yes, we spend a little more than just Time showing how much we care to those around us. Many say that it is more commercialized today and I agree. I recall growing up, when times were really hard, that this day was a test of our Faith. Unfortunately, many think that their Faith is the only one to believe in, but I will challenge that. I believe that all Faiths are all the same, only changing the name of who we believe in. Some even challenge the day of the year those celebrations take place, but again it is not important. What is important is believing in Humanity and Peace on earth, instead of trying to destroy it.

Though, I was up slightly before Kathy this morning, we didn't have much time to sit around. We barely had time to check The Weather Network, before getting our first Christmas Greeting on the phone. Something I have surprised myself with, is I can now sense when someone is Smiling with Happiness, simply by hearing it in their voice. Our son Kevin, and daughter-in-law Melissa were wishing us the best and they were Smiling. Smiles, are good for your health and your attitude, will lift someone's spirits when they most need it. Let's all try to share a Smile with as many people as we can. We had to explain what we meant by our Six Days of Christmas, making this our 3rd.

We were on our way to our daughter Karen and son-in-law Greg's home in Tecumseh for Christmas Brunch. Besides enjoying a meal with family, it brought everyone together for that moment. Kylla layed down after eating, because she is working Sixteen Hour Shifts as a Trauma Nurse at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Tyler, at Twenty-Four Years of age, is now a Certified Journeyman in his trade, sharing his knowledge with an Apprentice, working under his guiding hand. Ashley and Zeth spent the night rather than commuting from the Farm near Wheatly. These kids are just growing too fast.

The food was delicious as always with Karen and Greg cooking a great meal. It would have been easy to overeat, but I simply took a small sliver of each dish.

As the kids headed off to meet other Friends of Extended Family Members, it was time for us to give Hugs and Handshakes for the day.

Back at the Apartment we had to gather ingredients for our contribution to tomorrow's Family Christmas Celebration. Somehow one of the most recent purchases was MIA. We searched for nearly an Hour, before finding the Package, stuffed inside a Storage Container, behind something else, at the rear of an upper shelf. The end result was we worked together and have it finished in the Fridge.

I also had to slice up a Fresh Pineapple we purchased the other day. With all the standing earlier, I had to sit a couple of times to rest my Back. (Will it ever end?)

We had not eaten since this morning's Brunch, so we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for supper around 7:00.

We had just finished eating, when our son Ken called to wish us a Merry Christmas. His phone sounded like he was standing across the room from it, as we both struggled to hear him. We'll see them all tomorrow.

Later we watched "Dr Suess's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" before watching "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" starring Jim Carey.

Both Kathy and I hope that all our Family, Friends and Followers, enjoyed a Wonderful Christmas Day, no matter how you celebrated it.

I managed to sleep twice as long in Bed, then in my Recliner last night, but it wasn't enough. It just felt like I hadn't even gone to sleep at all.

I was getting things ready for our breakfast snack when Kathy came out to join me. A Yogurt Cup and a few One Bite Pastries that were sent home with us last night, before we headed to our Computers, but we couldn't stay long. After checking "The Weather Network" it wasn't long before we were headed out the door. First, I texted our daughter Karen to be certain there were no extra Boyfriends/Girlfriends that we needed to buy gifts for in her family. She texted back "No", and I'm certain she'll want more of an explanation the next time we see her.

When we were on our way home after the Christmas/Birthday Celebration at our daughter Rose's home, we had planned on getting a few extra Gifts. Unfortunately, the Dollrama store had already closed, so the only thing left to do, was to go this morning. That was the first stop we made, and within minutes we had the Gift Wrap and extra Gifts we needed.

Thinking it would be wise to collect our Mail before the Holiday, we headed west on Wyandotte towards Jefferson. Just before getting there, I recalled being very low on my Nerve Blockers, prescribed by the Doctor at the Windsor Pain Clinic, so drove Five Blocks further to the Health First Pharmacy. When I explained what I needed, they said they had filled that prescription only Three Weeks ago and I had to wait. After I said I had never received those Medications, they turned the drawer upside down, to find my Medications on the bottom. I'll sleep better tonight.

Arriving at Guardian Storage, I found our Mailbox quite full. Chantel was in the Office by herself while Melissa was in the Yard with a customer.

It was nearly 12:30 when we stopped at A&W for lunch. Trying to cut back on our intake, we settled for their Buddy Burger Combos. Much better than a full-sized burger. We were able to walk away, feeling satisfied but comfortable.

We also stopped at the Zehr's grocery store to pick up some Fruits, Vegetables and Milk. We looked at a few things that we had bought last week, only to see the prices back to their inflated highs.

Back at the Apartment, as soon as the groceries were put away, we worked together to get those last gifts wrapped.

Our appetites have really gotten smaller, because all we had for supper, were a few more One Bite Pastries.

The "6 o'clock Local News" was split between the London (A Hundred Miles away) and the Windsor Studios. We are going to have a nice Green Christmas tomorrow, but very Wet on Friday.

Kathy and I sat down to exchange our Christmas Gifts this evening, because we will be very busy tomorrow. Call this our 2nd Day of Christmas.

We later watched "It's A Wonderful Life" with James Stewart and Donna Reed. It was released before I was born and this is only the second time that I have seen it.

Kathy and I would like to wish all our Family, Friends and Followers a Very Merry Christmas Holiday. Stay Safe.

Unlike the freezing temperature we experienced on Sunday night, yesterday's high carried through the entire night, until early this morning before climbing even higher. Still my night was split almost evenly, between my Recliner and Bed with a timed difference of only 5 Minutes.

We started out the day with Banana Pancakes for breakfast, before heading to our Computers. We only stayed for a short while, because we knew we had to run another errand.

It felt good stepping out the rear entrance with temperatures near 40 F (4.5 C) and the Sun filling the sky.

Since it was already past noon, we headed to Wendy's to enjoy lunch. While ordering their Chicken Nuggets for lunch Tracy one of the Managers that sees us often, recalled us normally getting the Grilled Chicken Wraps and asked why we changed. When we related how Two Weeks ago on a Sunday, they were like chewing on rubber and behind the counter was a mess. Someone could have easily injured themselves. More questions were asked, and she was not happy. She asked what was said when we returned the tough Chicken, we said we didn't say anything. Not only was our lunch Free today, but we were told that if the food is not up to standard, to return if for a replacement or refund.

We had calculated that, we had forgotten a few Christmas Gifts for the grandchildren. We also went to the Dollarama located inside the Tecumseh Mall, since they are all independently operated and the stock at the two locations we frequent was getting low. We were only inside for Ten Minutes before leaving with what we thought was enough.

Back at the Apartment we were about to start a wrapping marathon, with me cutting the Wrapping Paper to size and Kathy doing the actual wrapping. That's when the bomb hit. The Two Rolls of Wrap that Kathy had gotten were Cello-Wrap. Other than a Candy Cane Stripe, you could clearly see through it. Luckily, I had leftover Wrapping Paper when I did Kathy's gifts. The Problem was there wasn't enough to finish today's chore, but enough for today's gifts.

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for supper before heading out to a Birthday Celebration.

We spent the next Two Hours enjoying catching up and watching little Maryam's antics while celebrating our daughter Rose's Birthday, and a small Family Christmas Celebration to boot. Munef was quite concerned with the decline in my mobility and weight gain. Rose remembered coming to the Gym over Thirty Years ago, the weight loss and recovery from a Workplace Injury. I might take them up on the offer, that will help me out and, in the end, help us all out.

Back home I needed to double check a few things. First was with our daughter-in-law Jen, then with our daughter Karen. Karen quickly resolved the problem, but Jen threw a bomb our way. We haven't seen Jen and the kids since June and now both Connor and Haigan have Girlfriends. I guess it's that three letter word, age, Eighteen and Twenty. How did that happen?

Tomorrow, not only are we buying more wrapping paper, but a few more gifts as well. As for the Title, since we celebrated Christmas tonight and we still have a least Five more to go, it's only fitting.
