It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas . . .

 It was a whirlwind of a day in the Heinisch home as we spent most of it getting last minute items checked off our to-do list before our Christmas holiday began.  Doug had one last day at Champion for the week.  Cal met his friends early in the morning to work out before taking Winston home to check on HM's cat and study for the CPA.  Cam, Meg and I spent the morning in Warsaw where he had a tennis lesson.  While he was there, Meg and I dropped his glasses off at the eye doctor to be repaired and then bought our Christmas groceries at Martins.  Thankfully, the eye doctor's office was able to fix them before we had to get back to pick up Cameron.  Cam and Meg decided that a big pop was in order and he drove us safely from Warsaw to North Webster before driving home.  It took me all afternoon to get the groceries put away, clean the kitchen, finish the laundry, get the oil changed and take a walk.  

It was by far the quickest and most hurried afternoon that I had had in quite some time.  It was worth it, however, as we spent the rest of the night enjoying the Christmas season.  Cam, Doug and I met Nick and Meg in Warsaw to tour the Christmas lights at Central Park.  There seemed to be more than in years past and we enjoyed walking through the displays and taking pictures.  We picked up Mad Anthony's on the way home and although Cal did not join us for the lights, he did appreciate the food we brought back to him.  The rest of the evening was spent playing Ticket to Ride, watching IU basketball lose and finishing The Shop Around the Corner.  It was a wonderful way to start our holiday vacation.
