Cordle Christmas ‘08

Yesterday was the big annual Cordle Christmas. We had a pretty good crowd, despite the lack of a few of our cousins. Uncle Jimmy took the cake with the tackiest attire by robbing his Christmas tree of it’s skirt.

Everybody got really into the whole “Tacky Christmas” thing and we had a lot of fun. After a really good lunch of Gumbo & Fruit Soup we opened our White Elephant gifts Dirty Santa style. Mom got the mosquito head net she’d always wanted (“You could steal bees with that thing!” -Nee Nee) and Anna scored some sweet doilies.

We certainly missed Rad, Peavey, and their families, but we had a great time catching up with everyone else. Watching Dad try to carry on a serious conversation while wearing a dickey was certainly a sight to behold.

Anyway, hope everyone else’s Christmas is going well so far…only 4 days left!
