Thunder with Christmas dinner, now there's a unique experience almost as rare as the full moon on Christmas Day.

"I must have been a bad boy this past year. I asked Santa Claus for a fat bank account and a skinny body for Christmas, but, instead, I got a fat body and a small bank account.''

"Christmas Day off from the torture chamber disguised as a gym.
"Oh what will I do today?
"No rowing machine, no stationary bike, no treadmill, no other machines to make my muscles ache.
"Now I can spend the rest of the day hiding from the warden. She has a plan that will give me a substitute work out. Good grief!''

"A riot at the Sheppard House this a.m.
"The dogs were going ape opening presents -- yours and theirs.
"All my grandkids have four legs, but it was great fun for them and us.
"Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas morning as much as we did.''

"Reason No. 7 to move to Atlanta.
"Christmas is really about love, family, and tradition.
So, we refined some of that Christmas Eve tradition for the Price family.
"The day begins in the morning with Michael and me finishing any last-last minute shopping. Then he and I eat an ethnic lunch (this year it was spicy Chinese at Canton Cooks II).
"Afterward, we head to the Buford Road International Farmers Market to pick up seafood and vegetables from around the world for Christmas dinner.
"The entire family then attends an early children's mass at All Saints Catholic Church. That is followed by Christmas Eve dinner (this year at Brio Tuscan Grille).
"Finally, we return to Michael and Shannon's where Audrey and Owen each get to open one present. Of course, this year was really special because of our relocation.''
