A wonderful Christmas dinner with Richard and Grace

We had so much  fun and lots of laughs with the corny jokes Jim found. He has a new job for Christmas now....doing original crackers.

The contents of my Christmas cracker.


 Having a great laugh at the jokes.


They gave us four Riedel wine glasses for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Bordeaux...the wines we always drink. For some reason we have never treated outselves to these glasses...thanks so much!


And they loved the little fireplace along with socks for Richard with pizza and beer on them. We also gave them money towards a winter holiday. They think they'll go to Mexico City and then a beach for a while. Jim loved Mexico City when he was on a business trip there.  Great choice for culture and a beach holiday.

They sent us this photo of the little fireplace in front of their Christmas tree.



Derek made up a Christmas quiz for us (an old tradition he did at their annual Christmas party).

We didn't do very well on it...it's really tough!

It's christmas!  Are you up yet?  Here are the quiz questions Derek made up for you...Enjoy and let us know if jim is the winner or if he's passed the torch ;)
