This morning at the end of our staff meeting Bill had us each tell what our plans for the holidays were. It all took me back to elementary school when, after winter break, we went around the room and said what we did over break and what we got for Christmas. It was sort of funny, but it was also neat to hear what everyone was doing.
Mary Lou's Christmas tradition was interesting. She and her grandkids bake a birthday cake for baby Jesus on Christmas Eve. It sounds funny, but it is a neat idea. I wonder how many candles they put on the cake. Jesus is old.
I like Marty's Hanukkah plans, too. Her family rents out the fire hall in Mitchell (she hopes there aren't any fires in town that day) and plays rousing games of volleyball. I wouldn't associate volleyball and Hanukkah, but maybe it's a sacred Jewish tradition ... um, I doubt it.

Yesterday we (DOVIA) ate at the Holiday Inn downtown. Mmmm... they have a yummy buffet. Then we just sat around and talked and did an ornament exchange. I have really gotten to know some of those people in the last year and I think I will really miss those monthly meetings.
