Happy post-pre-25th of December-mas (Merry Christmas)

December 25, 2007 · 8 Comments

We want to wish you all a very plesant and joy-filled Christmas. We (both Jameses) come to you live from the 6-8 am set here at IHOP. The transition to this set was amusing. Tim Reimherr was coming on and the worship leader transitioning off played two of Tim’s songs for the transition.

So Huzzah to you if you are awake so early this Christmas morning. Perhaps awakened by bouncing, screaming, excited children, or maybe you are that child making sure everybody knows exactly what day it is. What ever the reason I have but one question for you: What are you doing reading this blog? There are presents to be opened, food to be eaten and family members to be beaten at board games. (Speaking of which, Jennifer won her first game of Settlers of Catan last night. If she wasn’t addicted before she will be now. You get your first taste of victory and you can’t have enough.)

You can expect an update later on. Including how Alien vs. Predator was, who won when we play Settlers over at the Harms’ again, and an Itemized list of our gifts. So have a good one and we’ll see you later on.

Many Christmas Blessings from your friends the James’.

    This is actually Jennifer. And it wasn’t two Merchant Band songs, it was 4.

    Also, I finally beat Pam Harms at Settlers, a feat I thought would take months.

    Also, it is freaking early.

    Also, Merry Christmas! Catch me on the prayer room feed and tell me if my butt looks as big on camera as I think it does.

    OK, I might have only typed that because it’s early.

    Reading blogs on Christmas Day is what you do when your only children have moved to IHOP – Ha! Ha!

    Actually, there’s a break in the action before the relatives arrive and I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas ! May 2008 be especially great for you and yours!!
