 We promised ourselves that we were not going to go out on Christmas Eve, but around noon we ventured out to our local Super Spar grocery store to pick up a few needed things for dinner tomorrow.  Whoa….the parking lot was FULL.  You had to wait in line just to get a shopping cart, the check-out lines were all around 1/3 of the way down the aisle and to put it mildly the place was PACKED.  Rick spoke to one of the managers he knows and was told it has never been this crowded before. They had already broken a couple of records for number of shoppers and total purchases and it was only 2pm.  What an experience.  Christmas Eve was spent with the Elders. We had our traditional Christmas Eve pizza dinner.  We watched a 2010 Tabernacle Choir/Orchestra event.   After pizza and the video, we played some games with the Elders.  They liked Rummikub and the Monopoly card game the best.
