Diary Entry for 12/25/1998

Christmas Day. Snowing off and on during the day and into evening. Worse Philadelphia way. Vern, June, Jim, Nancy, Jolie, Zack, and Shawn Michael and “King” here for dinner at 4 PM after Jim got here from work at 3. Jill here for gifts and dessert. They left for home about 6 PM. Joel and Camille called three times but missed them all but Vern and June and us. Good to talk with him. Vern and June gave me new bedspread and Merrill shirt jacket, Jolie and Zack gave me leather dress gloves and Merrill loafer shoes. Jill gave us wicker basket of cheese etc. Nancy fancy pot holder and metal box of candy. Also got pictures of Shawn Michael and Jolie. So great to all be together. We missed Joel.
