The fifty-second issue this week of my WEEKEND ROUNDUP postings and ... (THE TWENTY-SIXTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES) - the Letter "Z" Prompts are: (A) Starts with the Letter "Z"; (B) "Christmas" (Tom's Choice); (C) A Red and Green Favorite; (D) Reflections; and (E) A Lagniappe.    
  _ _ _  
(A) Starts with "Z":  "Zoom" starts with "Z".  We do lots of Zooming now with all the shut-in time we have.  Even our Sunday morning Church Bible class is on Zoom if we don't wish to come in.  We are one mile from our  church  were I found this tree in a back door entrance lobby.  

(B) "Christmas" (Tom's Choice):   Christmas Bells on our front door.


(C) A Red and Green Favorite:  This Red and Green Nutcracker Soldier guards our daughter's entrance way haul.  It has a twin on the other end of the hallway table.


(D) Reflections:  Our neighbor drives this car parked along their curb.  Love Rear View Mirror Pictures.


(E.1) A Lagniappe:  A cute little trailer where Santa can rest.  Found on a neighborhood drive last night looking at outside decorations.

(E.2) A Lagniappe:   We had breakfast with our older daughter and family.  Before we ate brunch (??) we opened presents.   Here is our youngest grandkid getting used to her new hover board.  Towards the end of the video you can see the two Red and Green nutcracker soldiers.  

And a picture of our youngest grandaughter and a great-grandson who is part owner of this nice backyard slide.  [

Bonus Questions:

(1)  What did you have for a Christmas Breakfast?  Did it meet your expectations?"   Yes, of course it did, my daughter and SIL cooked it.

(2) What is your favorite Word with an  "Z"?  Mine today will be "Zero'", I only once gave a student a Zero on a paper and he was given a chance to rewrite two papers to make it a passing grade.  I have flunked a few students.

Comments:
(1) What would you say that the average lifespan in years runs in your family? My mother died at 60 and my dad at 78. I'd say at 69 I don't have that many years left. I'll live each one to the fullest though.

(2) What is your favorite Word with an "Z"? Zest. That's my Z word for today.

...in normal years we always always went to ours Son and DIL for CHRISTMAS breakfast, this year they delivered.
Jim, it looks like you had a wonderful CHRISTMAS, stay safe and healthy and have a great 2021.
 
We do a lot of FaceTime and SnapChat. Often, we just turn it on and go about our business as if we are all in the room together. It's great for bringing far-flung people together.
