We celebrate Christmas in the European tradition and open presents on Christmas Eve (and that's when we have the kids, they go to our ex's on Christmas Day) so I hope it's ok that I open my SS gift tomorrow, otherwise I can save it for Christmas morning.  Angel [angel]

As long as you wait to post the pics! Wink [;)]

Is it just me or has this group build made a lot of folks in the US take up the European tradition? LOL

Hey guys-

Almost time! I can't wait to see all the pics Monday.

I'm flying out to my in-laws tomorrow in Texas. We'll be at their house by dinner. We're having our Christmas there. He has a computer connection, though it's dial-up. I'll get some pics up, and look at everyone else's. If you don't see me for a while, it probably means his connections down (which seems to be a frequent thing.)

Until then- Merry Christmas!

Your Sign - Welcome [#welcome] Osher Big Smile [:D] It was fun looking for you. I had to look for your posts for a while till I found your GB badges. That gave me an idea of what you are into so I could go in another direction. My family had fun digging though my LHS for that one.
