My Mom had it, and my wife always loved it so she left it to her....

I put my midget tree up again last night, I'll decorate it tonight, though. 3 years strong with this bad boy... It's still hanging in there.
This is the train my father made, he designed and painted it himself. He worked for CP Rail for many years and loved trains. He had an amazing model railroad in his basement. He passed away in February.
Bought tickets for a candlelight Christmas concert to take the bride to.

Got our Christmas tree this afternoon. It’s a 6.5ft Douglas Fir. Soft branches and smells so good. Very full as well.

"All it needs is a little love."
Are they all fighting over the last piece of fruitcake? Or are they going to use it as a door wedge?
Mom found more old decorations from my childhood in a box. These Santas and Mrs Claus are from 1992!!!
Had to put them up. Ah, now the side window looks good. Feeling the spirit even more!

Curious as to what people think about the following movies....
I'm into fun/goofy so enjoy them all
Elf
Four Christmases
Christmas with the Kranks

Elf is a great movie, but there's one MAJOR Christmas faux pas in it for me. There is way too much talk in the movie about the legitimacy of good ol Saint Nick, and who is responsible for the presents. I don't get fired up about much, but I really hate when Christmas movies (especially those aimed at kids!) use the mystery of Santa as a plot point.
The Santa Claus film is public enemy #1.
I cannot watch Will Farrel, so no Elf for me. Christmas with the Kranks - I love it! The scene after the botox in the restaurant makes me laugh every time.
My youngest daughter loved "Pigs at Christmas", her favourite Christmas book (our family is obsessed with books so the girls grew up loving them too). The traditional lemon shortbread cookies have always had to include Christmas pigs since she first read the book. I love memories like this, they make me all warm and fuzzy inside. I make them with hubby now.
BTW, Charlie McAvoy has been involved in several community events of late. Our next captain is taking the torch.
