Christmas in Oklahoma is one of my favorite things to blog about.  In Oklahoma the weather can vary from 75 to 0 deg. on December the 25th.  Today it's really nice.  Some of my friends up north are snowed in their houses and I'm very thankful for the weather today in Oklahoma. I've been chatting with friends on Face Book, and Nancy has been busy sending out Christmas Cards.

We went to a wonderful party last night with some friends from Church, and got our picture taken with Santa. Today we went to see Avatar in 3-D at Oklahoma City's Tinseltown Theater located near Remington Park.  There were a lot of people out enjoying the movies.  The best movies seem to always come out just before Christmas.

The City was alive with shoppers, and movie goers.  Traffic was a little heavier than normal in the Oklahoma City Metro for a Sunday afternoon.

We still have a lot to do before Christmas Day.  There are presents to buy, presents to wrap, dinner to plan, and events to attend.  With Christmas being on a Friday this year, a lot of us will be blessed with a long weekend.  It feels like Christmas has jumped on us this year without much warning.  

It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since our new President took office.  The economy really has spun up and down.  It's good to see that it really hasn't had an affect on the most precious time of the year. I'm sure a lot of us are a little more cautious with our spending, but it hasn't broken the spirit of America.  If anything, I believe it has made us stronger.

I'm not going to get political at this time of the year.  Right now, it's time to think about are troops, friends, clients, and family.  It's time to think about why we have a Christmas, and how it began.  It's time to put the world on hold, and cherish the things that money can't buy.  It's time to get ready for the Friday in the big town.  Santa is coming.  

Merry Christmas and best Wishes to All,
