Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

( Keep Christmas and Mi familia and Photos of the Fam and Stuff I actually think )

 
 We are snowed IN!  See the photos, a view from the living room window and our neighbor who has been shoveling out for hours - he is our hero!  Can you believe, even as we took this pic a few minutes ago, it is still snowing!? (See the ap news account here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061221/ap_on_re_us/snowstorm ) I have [...]

JOY TO THE WORLD!

( Keep Christmas and Stuff I actually think )

"Fear not, I bring you tidings of great joy…For unto you is born this day…a Savior…" -Linus quoting Luke 2 in "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
I love Christmas.  I love it all (in spite of many years of retail management).  I love the sights, the sounds, the symbols, the traditions, the aromas, the corny movies, the giving, [...]

Making the Holidays Happily Holy

( Keep Christmas and Stuff I actually think )

 
My good friend Jack Hayford  (I should mention he doesn't actually know we're good friends) has some good things to say about celebrating Christmas for all we're worth.  It's a short, but good read.

NOTE TO SELF:  Get a good dictionary and read often; learn to sound as smart as Jack Hayford

( Keep Christmas and Memories and Songs I am singing and Stuff I actually think )

“God Bless Us, Every One!”

( Grandkids and Keep Christmas and Mi familia and Photos of the Fam )

You recognize that quote, right?  It is exclaimed by the saintly Tiny Tim at the end of the Charles Dickens's classic "A Christmas Carol."
We have tiny people around our house often these days, our grand-kids: Gavin 3, Hunter 2, and Guinivere 1.  Our tiny ones have yet to declare "God bless us, every one," but they [...]
