Christmas Day
Christmas - the best day of the year. Today we got up early for once and found that Santa had found us - twice. Very interesting morning, eight stockings, and presents of course. We spent the rest of the day just playing games and resting for the most part. We played a scrabble like game called "Upwords" the one we bought from Harrods for my mother. Along with a card game called Set, aaaand of course Axis and Allies. While so doing we watched another version of the Christmas carol and some Christmas episodes of old sitcoms - thank you "Santa". Then my parents went out on a walk, and really that's about it, just a slow restful day.

Sounds like fun! I wish Santa would visit me twice...I was extra good this year, too! Glad you had a great day! PS: I love Upwords! It's a fun twist off of Scrabble.

Mike, Ray and I saw Les Mis in London and I remember it being so good I had to remind myself to breath. I can still feel myself sitting in that very seat listening to "Bring him home."
Grandpa and I haven't played any games yet, but we are turning over a new leaf. The Parkinson's sent us Canasta and we would really benefit from getting our heads out of the newspaper and beyond Perry Mason.
When we picked up your mom from her mission in Rome, we headed to Israel and they had given Grandpa Hales permission to release her there. She wanted so badly to swim. When she swam out into the Sea, I was afraid she would just keep swimming and never turn back, but luckily she came back, married a wonderful man and had a son named Mike and a daughter named Deborah. Keep your eye on her when she swims! Love, Grandma Beckham
Merry Christmas to you all. It sounds like you guys are having a great trip so far. The plays sound wonderul.
We had a fun Christmas in Minnesota. Played a lot of games and ate a lot of food. We had the missionaries over this afternoon and evening.
I enjoy reading about your trip.
Love, Karen
