One Thing I Know for Sure

Christmas is about family and good friends.

...but a decorated tree and naughty new kittens do not mix.

Christmas in Heaven

Christmas in Heaven

by Unknown

'Tis Christmas in Heaven

What a beautiful sight!

It's my first one here;

Everything is all right.

The crib is adorned

With the brilliance of stars,

Wisemen have come

From Venus and Mars.

I've met all our dear ones

Who preceded us here;

The reunion was lovely,

An event full of cheer.

And tonight we'll all gather,

In reverence we'll kneel,

For the Babe in the cradle

Up in Heaven is Real.

I think of my family

that I left behind

And I pray that your Christmas

Is as blessed as mine.

Please shed no more tears,

For my soul is at rest,

Just love one another;

Live life to its best.

Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,

So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven

Happens every day.

Merry Christmas My Friend

Click on the arrow above - a moving tribute created by our dear friend, Fred, to all our soldiers and veterans. A must see, especially on Christmas Eve.

Flowerpots

The answer to the trivia question below - DEVO!

Thanks to Fred for looking it up and sending me the pic. He just couldn't let it go! A true trivia buff. Now let's talk about that Apollo 10 Capsule you and Mr. T. wanted to rescue when we were in London a few years ago...why is it that you both KNEW it was there?

Saturday Night Fever

When you get a bunch of 50 year olds together, with the exception of "moi" of course, we tend to start off with some nice jazzy (holiday) music during dinner and gradually move towards something more upbeat as the night goes on.

What is more upbeat than Party Music from the Disco Age?

Yes, we could name that tune, Fred could name just about every artist, and soon we were playing our own version of Disco Trivia. Did you know that the Eagles were a back up band for Linda Rondstadt? (only Fred knew that) Who sang "I Love the Night Life (I want to boogie)"? We all knew the words to "I'm Just a Love Machine (and I won't work for nobody but you)" And who was the band that used to wear flowerpots on their heads? (Never did figure that one out.) Did you know that Lionel Ritchie bought an interest in Lionel trains?

Fred, Kath(ee) and Mr. T share a holiday hug.

Oh ya, we also decided that we need a bigger TV.

I think today is our anniversary, right Mr. T?

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Let it snow!

We were smarter this year - we got the "deck" tree up last week while the temps were mild. Today we got 12 inches of snow. Maybe we should have put the lights on last week too.....Nah! Where's the challenge in that???
