Beth, did you get to the Oilers game?
I spoke with mom last night and told her about our plan for the food but not about the presents.
She was very touched and I could tell it definitely alleviated some stress. I asked her how she wanted us to do it and she asked that I collect the $25 from everyone over Christmas. She is going to pick up the items. I think that's a good idea and it keeps her busy. She is going to "Rob Peter to pay Paul” as she put it. She made it very clear though that she didn't want to be the one collecting the money, so I'll do it. I'll come around singing, "hands in your pockets, hands in your pocket” ha ha.
As for dad, I think he is ok for accommodations. Between Kirsten's cousins house and where I am staying he should be fine. I've also invited the MacPherson kids to crash at my place on New Years but if dad decides to stay he would still have his own room.
Neil dropped by last night for a surprise visit (very nice) and we went out to get a Christmas tree. We let Philippe (Karyne's nephew) pick it out. Let me tell you; this is the biggest Scotch Pine I’ve ever seen! We have to go out today and buy a new tree stand because ours won't fit!!
Thanks Neil for helping!
Love you guys, cant' wait till we're all in the same province again.
Tam :)
