Everyone I know says ewww!<br />I saw a live reindeer once in San Fransisco (of all places) during Christmas of course.<br />I love driving around looking at Christmas lights. We always pack up the kids with candy canes and a thermos of hot cocoa and off we go. Believe it or not they still enjoy this.<br />Baking cookies and watching the old Christmas movies are also high on my list. Especially The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant.<br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-29688448510357743012009-12-19T06:25:46.453-05:002009-12-19T06:25:46.453-05:00I'm with you, I love the lights.

My son and I enjoy walking or driving around to tour the lights. I have a neighbor who goes to town. I'll be posting photos in a couple of days. I haven't stopped by to take pictures yet this year, but I can't wait. You'll be amazed!<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend!<br />xoxo kKathryn Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322878341185208920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-82558164760903287912009-12-19T01:03:08.958-05:002009-12-19T01:03:08.958-05:00Hello Dear Shell!

I used to go and sing at senior homes doing carols. I may even restart this as they really do appreciate it. take care.Cindy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03552572705763406197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-20123693875282523012009-12-17T13:37:51.111-05:002009-12-17T13:37:51.111-05:00Awe- Hi Sweet Shell- all such lovely moments to ch...Awe- Hi Sweet Shell- all such lovely moments to cherish. I took my little ones and SPencer out riving around to look at the lights -so much fun. One family near us hangs HUGE beachballs covered in lights across the street several times so that when you drive through it looks like HUGE ornaments hanging i the sky- so so oool. I bet you know what people want- your intuition is evident.<br />Happy Thursday Darlin'Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386284496260743117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-32835094919651324422009-12-17T13:34:51.480-05:002009-12-17T13:34:51.480-05:00What I like about Xmas is what it brings out in pe...What I like about Xmas is what it brings out in people... The giving side of it... and the creativity they may show in the gift they give. It would be nice if that 'giving' feeling was more present during the year...I notice right after the holidays 'some' revert back to how they were prior to the holidays... The memories I have of past Xmases with people that are no longer here..December is so hard for a lot of people, it would be nice if December was as easy on folks as any other month of the year and that does not include April 15th which we all dread! lolKalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-52874432229153637272009-12-17T13:02:47.961-05:002009-12-17T13:02:47.961-05:00Lovely things to love Shell!

I remember the feeling I got as a child looking at the lights and imagining a secret world in the branches of the tree. I think fairies figured heavily! I also love carols. I love singing so any excuse is great. I have had a Christmas CD on all week in the garden and been amusing(frightening?!) small children by singing loudly to them. I love cold weather-which we actually have at the moment-usually it seems to be mild at Christmas.<br />I love CHristmas day with our small family gathering. I llove Christmas dinner-mmm-especially the pudding!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.com
