Well, Granpa and Granny Beth conspired and combined to give me a treadmill for Christmas! Granny Beth noted that it will only work if I get on it. (Oh, so true!) So, we set it up in the living room in front of the TV (that way maybe John will get on it, too.) It has six pre-programmed workouts, gives a continous read-out of time, distance, and supposed calories burned, or it lets you set the tread for anywhere from 1 to 10 mph. It folds down and will fit in the van very nicely (though it weighs about 100 pounds!)
I gave John some cash with orders to buy something for himself, since I NEVER get it right. I also got him a popcorn popper, a mug for his coffee cup collection, an EggBeat dock for his iPhone that amplifies sound without any batteries or power of any kind, and a 10" skillet As Seen On TV. That skillet is so slick you can't even get the eggs to hold still long enough to get the spatula under 'em.
We attended the Christmas Eve candlelight service at Grace Baptist here in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It was very, very good.
We do hope your Christmas holidays were all you wished for and that Christ was your true reason for the celebrating!
