Christmas went so fast this year. It seemed like it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Thanksgiving and now Christmas is already over! On Christmas Eve it is a tradition for the Robinson/Metzler/Baer crew to go to Pizza Hut in Chambersburg. We met this year at 4:00 p.m. and luckily, we didn't have to wait in a long line like we have others years. It was still busy, though and the employees worked hard to try and keep up with the demand at the pizza buffet line.
We gave Mike his book that everyone filled out the questionnaires for at the spaghetti dinner while we were at Pizza Hut. After Pizza Hut, we all went to our different churches for candlelight service. I enjoy candlelight service so much, especially the lighting of the candles and singing Silent Night. Every year as I sing that song it gives me hope for the upcoming year that things will be better.
On Christmas evening, the entire crew went to Bobby and Jane's house. Bobby and Jane remodeled their house a couple of years ago and this was the first that Bill and I had seen it. They have a beautiful home with lots of room now! The boys all went upstairs to play Playstation, pool and other games while the rest of the family congregated downstairs to play card games, board games, and to eat. It's never a Robinson/Metzler gathering if there isn't lots of food! Janes parents were also there. All in all it was a wonderful Christmas and a very memorable one!
As usual, Mike was his ornery self and he was cracking jokes and being silly. He looked really good and he's now making jokes about his lack of hair, thanks to chemo. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them uploaded onto the computer.
