This was a lovely idea and so much fun reading them. I've barely made a dent in the blogs but I'm sure my face will pop up on each and every one of them because I'm so excited to read about everyones memories.

This year I feel a little off about it, I guess b/c we aren't really settled here after our move yet and will be moving again but we don't know when.bphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884081028227999883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-67177941794545184772010-12-03T11:58:38.356-06:002010-12-03T11:58:38.356-06:00Thank you, Linda, for sharing.

Maybe I shouldn't think this way because Mrs. Jim, her sister, and her Dad did all this too. That was before he died when she was seven.<br /><br />You guys were very active. I think that is nice. We tried to involve the kids but I'm not sure that we didn't hurry things along more than what you remember.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-11260703463050599742010-12-03T11:53:08.245-06:002010-12-03T11:53:08.245-06:00Nice memories!

I've been blogging all things christmas for a month now and this is right up my alley! I'll post mine on my page and come back to link up. It's such a pleasure to read other folks traditions. I'll definitely be back to read the other comments and to follow their links! Like I said I'm madly addicted to blogging and fell in love with the "next blog" feature!

Because they burned so hot, and because we had wood heat, we almost never put our tree up earlier than the 15th of December. And Gram had that Pat Boone Album. She also had a Tennessee Ernie Ford Christmas album. We used to enjoy sitting with only the Christmas tree lights shining. Thanks for reminding me of these great memories. I miss my Gram.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.com
