Hinkle wanted to be alone on Christmas Day, shunning an invitation to Agnes Hahn's house for Christmas dinner. Harold and Mary Hinkle went there, and against his better judgement Jerry did as well. Sometime around 5pm, the 101 year old decided to wash his bedsheets. He fell over in the laundry room and crawled to the living room. At least two hours after his fall, Harold and Jerry found him lying down beside his chair in the dark. Jerry thought he was dead, when all the sudden his grandfather moved. In a group effort Harold and Jerry got him up while Mary made him something to eat. It was Jerry's turn to stay with him. He didn't get much sleep, and blames himself for what happened. the events relayed here could have happened on any other Thursday and nobody would think much of it. Because it was Christmas, however. The guilt will be especially bitter for Jerry. The old boy is doing spendid however, and not being the worse for wear, considering his family deserted him for a prime rib dinner. MARY HINKLE TAKES BOXING DAY SERIOUSLY After hearing that our friends in Canada are celebrating Boxing Day, she has decided to box up all of the Christmas decorations and put them away so she can get ready for the big trip to Cancun. They could leave as early as New Years Eve because of weather conditions in the Twin Cities area. CHRISTMAS FEATIVE DESPITE "THE GREAT FALL" Christmas Eve festivities were quite lively at Agnes Hahn's place. People giot just what they deserved (in some cases even better). Jerry Hinkle got a collector's edition Coca-Cola throw pillow (which he will not throw at anybody or anything), some 5 year old sparkling wine and a generous check, part of which will make it to a Salvation Army kettle near him someday. Among Shelby's Hinkle's gifts was a make-up kit, which she tried out to comic perfection. Big Sister Brit was critical of Shelby's application technique until the next day, when Uncle Jerry produced some pictures od Christmas past in which an then 3 year old Brit had trouble aiming her lipstick. On Christmas Morning. Doug Hinkle and his family had breakfast with Harold, Mary, Jerry and E.E. Hinkle. Sometime around 10am Darrel and his family arrived, ten minute after E.E. went home. Christmas cheer erupted yet again. Jerry got a Johnny Cash CD/DVD package, as well as a cash gift that the Salvation Army will share. he also got Brit's present by accident, a couple of picture frames for girls. Jerry felt like sant thought he was one of those Metrosexuals you hear about that live in the big city, until the mistake was corrected. Brit also got gift certificates to Burger King and Walmart. She wants Jerry to go with her when she makes the trip, but that don't mean it will happen. Harrold and Mary Got matching fishing gear, which will comein handy next July 10-11, when the 2nd Annual Goehring Family Fishing Jamboree will take place. After gifts were distributed the Hinkles were forced to watch a dreadful movie called "Pirates of the Carribean' which was made barable for Jerry only because of the magicly delicious Keira Knightley. Too bad she's only 17. better luck next year Bubba.
