Hi, won't you come in and spend some time. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, pull up a chair and sit by the roaring fire. I will put on some music and you can kick off your shoes and relax Ahhhh!!! isn't that nice. I hope you enjoy your stay in my Christmas Nostalgia pages. If you are moving from page to page allow your mouse to hover over the buttons on the left there is a description of the page there. Oh yes, please sign my guest book before you leave.

I believe in Christmas & Santa. It is the best time of the year. I would like to take this time to tell you a little about our Christmas. We start celebrating and preparing for Christmas in late October. My hubby gets so excited this time of year, (just like a small boy). He starts bustling about doing all kinds of neat little things. Every little nock and cranny is filled with Christmas. We put up anywhere between 11 and 40 trees in our home. My son-in-law said it perfectly "Wow this place looks like a gift shop". That is what it reminds me of. There are so many lights we don't need to turn on the lamps. That is on the inside. Now the outside looks like Las Vegas, LOL.
I have several Christmas parties to welcome in the season. One for my family, one for friends and neighbors and one for the Technical College that my husband works for. These parties are great. Everyone brings a finger food, I supply the main dish and we eat til we are stuffed.

We have our grandsons come and help decorate Pappy's tree. It is a seven and 1/2 ft blue pine, of some sort. I put up my all brass & glass tree It is about 7 1/2 ft. and is just glorious It revolves. I also have a 10 ft tree that I put up in the Family Room with the Fireplace. I guess you can tell I like trees? The kids have a ball doing this, It has become tradition. They are 11 and 8. Once the tree is decorated, the children and I sit and read Christmas stories by the fireplace with lots of hot cocoa and soft Christmas music in the background. The next weekend the kids will come back and we will put up the train under the tree. Another Tradition. We are making them yearly. We also take our grandsons to the local playhouse theater to see the Christmas special of the year.  We also do a portrait of our grandsons in front of the fireplace or the trees or somewhere Christmasy In our home.  I can't wait. This is  all followed, of course, by a huge family Christmas Dinner.

This is my time of year. I believe if the whole year was like Christmas there would be no more wars or trouble. This year I would like to ask all of you to please pray for our soldiers in Iraq and around the world. I believe prayers help. God Bless you all and Have a very Merry Holiday Season.
