COMER CHRISTMAS
December 5, 2008 — The "Comer" Christmas was held at Comer's in Dorsey on Sunday, December 14, 2008. As usual there was LOTS of good food and fellowship. A large crowd of family and extended family enjoyed visiting and eating. The children anxiously awaited the visit from Santa Claus, and they were not disappointed. He made his appearance and gave the children the gifts from under the tree. This has become a Christmas tradition that is enjoyed each year by all who attend. See the photos.
