  2. Great articles! We will be going to see my uncle and bringing gifts from family members for him to open. Then we grocery shop and get cracking on the Christmas menu items that I need to buy and prep ahead. And we might take the pooches to the big Christmas light parade in the park that you drive thru. Weather should cooperate so that's the plan. Have a super duper weekend and have fun frolicking!
