We've been doing the Twelve Days of Christmas (Secret Santa) for 11 years now.  We pick a family in our neighborhood and my wife's best friend picks a family in her neighborhood.  I had my running clothes on all day, but never got out the door.  Instead I spent most of the day picking citrus off our trees and making juice.  So when it was time to make the 11th delivery this evening, I decided to run home from my wife's BFF's family's house.  Unfortunately, now that we live pretty close to her, it was only a 1.3 mile run.  Oh well.  Better than nothing.

Juice mile.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Burt. Did you give the juice as the day 11 gift?

Like you can grow trees in Arizona. Was it on your oceanfront property?

Merry Christmas!

Flat - Juice mile is better than the beer mile.

Rhett - My wife says we should give the juice away as a gift.

Joe - When I say citrus, I mean needles. And when I say trees, I mean cacti.
