What Christmas is about!

Too much excitement?

Christmas was unusual this year. Virginia had a bad ice storm Christmas eve. We were without power for 30 hours. Others were without power for more than a week! Our gift giving was put on hold until the morning of December 26. But we all had a good time in spite of the weather.

Here are four pictures of the storm aftermath.
