Pappy is a little tired of Jackson's "music".We were invited for a scrumptious dinner at the Parnells, just next door to Mom and Dad's. The food was wonderful--some kind of gumbo--and for dessert we had a spiced fruit cake to celebrate Michael Ellis' birthday. Afterward, we had carols and festive music before we slipped off to hit the sack. There's always so much to do on Christmas Eve.
