OK
so 21 hours, turned into 21 days, turned into 21 weeks. So before it turns into 21 months,
Im taking responsibility for the incomplete review as I bit off more than I could chew (no pun intended). As soon as we got home from our Thanksgiving Decadence, we hit the ground running trying to get the Manor ready for the Christmas Soirees.
December 2nd, the Manor was showcased on a Historic Homes Tour here in town as part of a charity fundraiser. This meant going out to the farm to cut down the tree, hauling all the Christmas decorations down from the 3rd floor, cleaning ever nuck and cranny, and polishing everything in site, especially my head.
December 9th, we hosted a fundraiser holiday party for our charity of choice where we invited all of our friends of different demographics. If this were a different venue, maybe thered be a review of that night
Drunken Divas of Different Demographics.
December 15th, we had our First Anniversary Dinner celebrating our purchase of the Manor, during which a private chef came and cooked a ten course meal for us. Our Lady of the Manor continues to refer to that night as a night of Gluttony.
December 16th, we hosted a party for our families where we brought in musicians to lead the crowd in an afternoon of holiday sing-alongs.
December 23rd, well that was the day we finally got the chance to do all of the canning and jarring of our baskets of homemade gifts.
Weave into all of this our annual visits by Santa and his Elf to indigent families throughout the area and the next thing you know
we were sitting by the fire ringing in 2007.

we were handed that night at the Parade hoping that someday soon there will be a direct flight from
