It's been the wildest Christmas I can remember since I moved to Oklahoma.  It started Christmas Eve, when I left Downtown Oklahoma City to return to my home on the northwest side of the City.  The snow was coming down hard and the wind was blowing.  There were some problems getting away from work, and they became worse as I entered the Oklahoma City Metropolitan traffic on North May.  It seams that everyone was getting off work early at the same time.  Many motorist were already stuck, and many were spinning out along the way.  I chose to take Reno as apposed to I-40.  I will never know if I made a good decision or not.  It took me around 5 hours to get to my home in Northwest Oklahoma City from Main Street near downtown.

Nancy and I had planed our family Christmas on Friday, which was Christmas Day. We had family coming from Tulsa, Chickasha, and Binger, Oklahoma.  The occasion had to be delayed at least one more day.  As Saturday December 25, 2009 approached, the roads had made very little improvement.  After contacting everyone, it was decided to wait until Sunday to proceed with the festivities.

However we did show some homes in at the Grove Addition in Edmond, and a couple of houses in Yukon.  It was interesting to see how the different neighborhoods dealt with the piles of snow from the driveways.  We saw many families out shoveling the sparkling white substance. 

Finally, Sunday the 27th, we all got together to eat and exchange gifts.  Our time together was short, but very cherished.  The blizzard of Christmas 2009 did not stop us from having Christmas, it just made it last longer.

We hope your Christmas was long and delightful,

Happy New Year,

Rick and Nancy
