It's Christmas Eve

Happy Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas Eve, it's Christmas Eve?  I am not sure how to say it so I will sum it up by saying Merry Christmas; it is almost here!  We made it to Sanford.  Now it was great driving in our new car which rides great, gets good gas mileage and was very comfortable.  However, I have to add one thing, people are idiots!  Tim is an excellent driver and if I did not know this before yesterday, which I did, I would of learned how good he is.  The conditions were now exactly wonderful for driving; wet, rainy and fog.  We, fortunately, missed getting into two accidents all because people are idiots!  We were in South Carolina and this guy in a red car was merging in from the entrance ramp.  We were already in the left lane and, we thought, clear of the merge but this jerk wasn't happy to be behind the driver in front of him while merging and decided to come into our lane.  Tim had to go drive off the road in order not to be hit.  Once the guy realized what he had done  he sped off like a bat out of hell.  Good riddance!  The next incident happened just south of Jacksonville with another merging lane except this time everything came to a sudden halt.  The car in front of us did go off the road just to make sure he did not get hit which aided us in giving us a place to go to avoid getting hit.  We are thankful nothing happened but making our hearts skip a beat or two.  
We were warmly welcomed by Tim's brother Jim and Tim's Mom.  Jim fixed us an excellent dinner, huge steaks, and we had a great evening talking and getting all caught up with everyone.  Veronica, Jim's wife- my sister in law, came home from work around 9:30.  Veronica is a TSA supervisor at Orlando's airport.  We talked late into the evening.  Carrie and Daniel will be joining us later on today.  We will be celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve so that Carrie and Daniel can be with Daniel's family on Christmas and Jim and Veronica can spend it with Veronica's family Christmas morning.  It is nice to be together on Christmas, afterall, it has only been 25 years since we last celebrated together.  Yes, it will be a Merry Christmas Eve!  Merry Christmas!

  1. You'll never know who or what you would "bump" into on the road; so Tim must be a very good driver, to keep you and your new car safe. Getting involved in an accident is never a pretty sight; moreso if the offending party ditched you right after. I hope you guys don't get discouraged with driving there, and that you continue to drive safely at all times. Take care!
