beautiful tree as always and a great show!
:sparkle:
Good evening, Christmas family.
It is raining "pitchforks" here and nasty and cold outside. Inside, however, it feels like CHRISTmas !!! I have the cable channel on that plays all Christmas music and I am getting ready to hang my Advent calendars !! I should have had this done by now but time slipped away. This is one of the first times I have felt that "magic glow" inside this Season. Tomorrow is also my dear sister's birthday !!!!!!!! I plan on giving her her Birthday presents on Saturday as I am supposed to go and help her with her tree !!!!
It is always such a wonderful evening. We are just a couple of Christmas nuts when we get together on tree decorating evening. I hope the weather holds up a bit but it is supposed to be cold here in NE Ohio......Very Christmassy !!!!
Have a great evening, family and............
Merry CHRISTmas !!!!!!!!!!!!

what an amazing story!Good Evening Everyone!!!!!! It has been a fun day here. I walked over to my great aunt and uncles apartment this morning and helped them put their spiral Christmas trees outside. Then we sat around and talked for a few hours. My great uncle was telling me stories about Christmas mornings when he was young. My great grandma was really into Christmas and my grandpa took after her. My great uncle told me my grandpa was usually up before the sun on Christmas morning and was dragging everyone out of bed to see what Santa had brought. My mom has told me he was the same way as an adult. He was always getting her and my aunt out of bed as soon as it starting get light outside on Christmas morning. She said that he was always more excited than anyone else on christmas day. That is where she got her love for christmas and I am now taking after her. So I guess when people ask why I love christmas so much I can truthfully say that it is a family tradition. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Did you see the poll results? 92.8% were not offended by "Christmas" but they removed it anyway just to please 7.2%! Unbelievable!

Oh before I forget:
2 days to going to see maybe our future house
3 days to Saint Nicholas
(who rides on the roofs of the houses with his horse every night, to fill the shoes of the good children and listen to the songs they sing for him! =) )
Happy December All!
Time for the advent calendar to begin!
I have a cloth one and a talking one with a tree that you add an ornament each day and a snowman announces how many days left until Christmas. I also bought 2 for my grandsons that have chocolate in each window you open.
