We do this because we feel seeing this face-to-face gives us a better understanding than just writing a check of dropping our change into a can. When we got back to our daughter's house it smelled of the turkey and assorted other goodies that were prepared while we were gone. How blessed I am.

It is close to the temperature that can turn into freezing rain.

We had dinner at Storyteller's, then caught the 7:45 Christmas Fantasy Parade in Disneyland. Then it was back home to gently subside.
