Yesterday, my mom and my dad went out for some last minute Christmas shopping. My mom took my dad into a store she had only ever been to once or twice and my dad has never set foot in while living the past 5 1/2 years in Dubuque. Never once. Never planned to, either. Pier 1 Imports... so there was this contest in there for a grand prize and then only five 1st prizes. The Grand prize was an old volks wagon bug in perfect condition and stuff. 1st prizes were $500 gift cards to Pier 1 Imports. My parents went ahead and put their names and phone numbers/emails on a card and put them in to be randomly drawn. This morning my dad got an email saying he'd won! Not the grand prize (which would kind of stink because you have to pay for the insurance and license plate and other stuff in 30 days in order to own it), but one of the 5 first prizes.
So my dad won a $500 gift certificate to the store he never planned on stepping foot in until my mom dragged him in there. All because he went.
Haha.
He says "Why couldn't it have been Best Buy?"
Have a Merry Christmas everybody!
Our Christmas Tree and stockings and mantle over the fireplace.

Cookies for Santa! (and everybody-we made a TON!)
It snowed more last night. The trees outside are gorgeous.
