It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Just out of curiosity, how many of you that read the title to this post started to hum the tune of the song by the same name? My guess would be that most of you did.

At our house, the tree is up, most of the decorations are out, and the curio cabinet is filled with nativity scenes. I just need to get the candles in the windows and we will be all set. (Except for putting things under the tree.) We have another tree downstairs (thanks Nonnie) that we are going to decorate with some of the old wooden ornaments we bought at Zyla's when we lived in NH.

For those who don't know Zyla's, it is a "one of a kind " store. We had an opportunity to return there a couple of years ago, and it was just like we last saw it in the 1980's. Things were all stocked in just the same place they were in 20 years ago, and they will still be there when our grandchildren go there to visit. Zyla's, Smith and Edwards, and Smithfield Implement are all stores that are "one of a kind". Each is different, but has a unique personality of it's own. But I digress. I was talking about Christmas.

We went tonight and saw a wonderful production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Our grand daughter Danielle was in it, and it was delightful. A fun story which was well performed. Along with the play, we had a visit from her family with pizza, an overnight stay, and a fun visit.

It is now Sunday, and I wanted to post a picture of our actress.
