Monday (yesterday) was a beautiful … nice day … Fair skies … high temp 71 degrees … Delightful…

Last night … Mostly cloudy with a low in the low 50s…

Today (Tuesday), patchy fog early … Otherwise, mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny … high in the mid 70s … Tonight, a slight chance of showers after 1 a.m. Partly cloudy with a low around 54 … and a 20% chance of precipitation…

Wednesday … A chance of showers. Partly sunny with a high near 73 and a 50% chance of rain. Wednesday night … Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 1 a.m., then a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy with a low in the low 50s … and a 70% chance of rain…

Temps cooler Thursday and for the next several days…

Youngsters getting excited … Mom preparing a feast and dad doing dad things…

I think some of the best years of my life have been around Christmas … Mom was a good cook … pies and cakes … and all that goes with Christmas…

All my life as a youngster we lived within walking distance of Zion Hill Baptist Church, north of Bladenboro … one big, happy family … Hesters, Brissons, Paits, Burneys, Doves and there were others … Fond memories…

Oh yes, a few days out of school … but dad always seemed to have something that needed to be done … cut some wood … make sure we had splinters … feed the animals, and mom was a good cook…

But times were tough … for all … Santa was restricted to clothing, food, etc. … still good days with good friends…

“It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, it’s who’s around it.” Charles Schulz

“May you never be too grown up to search the skies on Christmas Eve.” Unknown

“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree; the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.” Burton Hillis
