We barely complete our early shopping then settle in with pizza on a blustery, snowy, hazardous Christmas Eve; black cat waits for Santa

I believe Margie and I successfully completed our early Christmas shopping spree in the nick of time, but I'm not sure. Come dinner time, nobody had time to cook and most of the food in the house was for tomorrow. So I ordered a pizza from Sicily's and shortly thereafter drove off to pick it up.

The wind was blowing, snow was flying.

I drove to the light at the intersection of Church Road and the Parks Highway and turned right. Everything looked just fine.

I soon pulled into Sicily's, about half-a-mile down the Parks from Church Road. The pizza and salad I had ordered were ready. John brought them right away. I didn't have to wait at all.

When I reached the corner of the Parks Highway and Church Road, where I had been not much more than five minutes before, it had turned into an accident scene. I do not know how bad because I turned left on Church, before I reached the scene.

I continued on towards home. The Anchorage part of the family all plans to drive out on Christmas Day to eat, exchange gifts and celebrate the birth of a baby born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. I hope the weather improves, because I don't like the idea of them driving out if it doesn't. I would rather they stay home and we could do this another day.

The pizza and salad were excellent. After we finished, Jimmy took a seat at the base of our lovely little Charlie Brown tree to wait and see what Santa would bring him.

A package of litter, maybe.

and of course:

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night and day, too!

Surely Santa will do better for Jimmy than a bag of litter! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
