Christmas Blizzard

It has never happened - at least that is what the weathermen are saying - BLIZZARD Warnings for Tulsa County. It started yesterday - rain, heavy at times with lightening and tornado warnings in the southern half of Oklahoma. Then this morning a viscous arctic blast - rain turned to freezing rain, sleet. Then about an hour ago it turned to snow. We are expected to get 4 to 8 inches. So much for Christmas Eve family get together. Even the Churches in Tulsa have all cancelled their evening  and midnight services.
For us Christmas Eve started out with cooking and mike smoking a Ham. Then as the day went along first our grandson Jason became ill, then our grandnephew Lucus turned up ill, couple that with the weather and the two matriarchs - (Debbie and Cari) decided we did not need "specific date" to celebrate Christmas and family so we cancelled the evening events and rescheduled for tomorrow. So here we are food in the fridge - but that is for tomorrow, so for tonight I am making a big batch of Chicken Enchilada Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches........
Tomorrow we will feast on lots of GREAT food and goodies, open gifts, and share the true meaning of Christmas - Christ, Love, and Family

I think it's ironic that Tulsa gets the blizzard and all we get is rain for Christmas. We are supposed to get a few flurries tomorrow and Saturday, though. Those are REALLY big snowflakes! I'm glad you have food since you might be snowed in for a while...You and Cari are right that it doesn't have to be a "specific date." Uncle Jim was often on the road on the 24th or 25th so we celebrated when he was home. Merry Christmas and we hope the little guys get well soon!
