Your Mom's wreath turned out really well. Let's hope she has lots of lucky ones. John and I went and got snacks for tomorrow evening. It is going to seem strange not going to church tomorrow evening but all services have been cancelled because of Covid. So since we are going to be home I got stuff for a meat and cheese tray and some different types of crackers to go with it. Then we got some chips and dip and stuff for a cheese ball. I hope you and Holly have a wonderful Christmas Eve with family. We might spend some time with John and Kelly tomorrow evening.

Hugs to you both.

John and Debbie
