Tradition

The kids are making our traditional Christmas breakfast. Eggs Benedict and fresh squeezed OJ. It's nice when they are the ones cooking, and you get to sleep in! Thomas calls the hollandaise sauce “holiday sauce”. What traditions do you have? And Nicole and I are making Mexican food for tonight. We have guests.

We love Tamales, but we don't always have them as the do take some time to make.

Our traditions are few, we usually see where we will be for Christmas some times we are in NY some times we are In Newburg and sometimes we are in Corvallis.

Now that the Forbes are moving to Albany we maybe able to have some traditions.

We do have a Stuewe Christmas potluck at Tina's the weekend before Christmas. We like taking the girls to story book land and to the pepsi cola light display. Eric and I like going to the victorian home tour in Albany and see the houses decorated for Christmas.

When we see Carmen we go see Brooklyn tabernacle Christmas service.
and a Christmas play on Broadway.

I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
