My friend Ruff says, Merry Christmas Poker and Happy New Year 2010 to All!

We hope your Christmas Day was white and merry and that your family arrived safely to their destinations. Ours did here in SW Colorado. Also, we hear that central Oklahoma all the way to the Red River in the southern most part of Oklahoma received from 14 inches to 5 or 6 inches of snow on Christmas day. Another record breaking snowfall for this time of year.
