Christmas Past, part IIl

1989, the year of the great blizzard!! Yes, we in Southeast Georgia actually had a snowstorm. I had 6" drifts in my yard...and, it stayed on the ground for several days. A few problems with it, of course. No one in SE Georgia can even drive in the rain, much less the snow. I was on a four day off cycle so I could be off Christmas. Yes, my little devoted readers, it was Christmas time. I am a last minute shopper, I freely admit that. I could not get my car out of the driveway for two days....right up to Christmas day. Finally went shopping, before going to tree time at the parents'......at Winn Dixie!. It was the only store open and there were several of us in there. Picture it, would Mom like a nice ham for Christmas? Maybe Dad would like some paper products? Cards???? Cross out the Happy Birthday and write Merry Christmas.....I vowed never again to wait to the last minute but, of course, the next year, Christmas Eve found me rambling the streets in the 79 degree weather...
