Well, it's almost here and my kids are anxiously awaiting their flat screen TVs and new laptop computers. It's gonna be LONG wait....here is our lovely tree, this year complete with TINSEL! Didn't even know if they made tinsel anymore-but I found some. Emily & I put it on the tree, and in my head I heard my Grandmother, Gawkie (yes, Gawkie) telling me "One strand at a time. Drape it, don't throw it...ONE AT A TIME!!" Then my brother would put on one BOX of tinsel on a tree branch just to drive her bananas. Pretty funny. So now, we sing the "That Girl" theme song-or, at least what I THOUGHT the words were when I was a kid : "She's tinselonitry..." Billy's was even better. He thought it was " Broadway..is that girl! She's insalodatry...she's everything that every girl should beeeee!" Please do not ask me what the heck INSALODATRY is, 'cause I don't know. Must be a kin to the "Hello Dolly" lyric: 'I feel the room swayin' 'cause the band's playin' one of your old favorite songs from Wueba Gwen..."
And now, a shot of our cool Nativity that Billy's parents gave us in 1986, then a shot of Jane's Nativity from the Philippines...the one that would come out every year and Jane would worry about losing the "tiny pieces." My favorite figure is the little chicken...there is also a pig. Come on, double click on the bottom picture & find that Christmas chicken! Too funny.
Hmmmm. After double clicking on this picture, I notice you can't really see the chicken. He's in front of the little girl kneeling,,,and not only that: the pig appears to have fallen on his side. Too much Egg Nog.
