We watched Home Alone tonight.


I have a lot of Christmas CD's that I had put on itunes and when I switched computers recently I messed the transfer of the Christmas music to the new computer. The problem was, I had went through hundreds of songs and picked out the ones I wanted which took many, many hours. I guess I will look at it like a labor of love.

I also was thinking of watching my first Christmas DVD of the year but not sure which one to watch. Hmm?

I find it weird post-9/11 when I watch Home Alone II where Kevin McAllister is on top of World Trade Center North Tower. To imagine those poor souls on that day.



Yeah I've also recently seen some movie which featured the WTC towers in the background. It always feels strange to see those towers like they've been before.

Walter, I have your dog.

"We used to get live trees every year.I love the smell even though I'm allergic to them" do they smell like those pine things people hang in their porches?

"Signals is my fav RUSH album".
Yeah, it's cool. Weapon...Analog Kid...Subdivisions...New World Man...Chemistry...

My top 4 albums of theirs would comprise Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Signals and Grace Under Pressure.

I saw the Signals and GUP tours (among others).
 The wife and I get a real tree each year. We love waiting for the first snow of December and going out after work and picking out our tree. Ah, good times.

I'm only laying here with my eyes closed trying to get some goddamn sleep!
Well it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.We have about two to three inces of snow here.The snow is still falling.Kennyman and I went out earlier.The snow,all the Christmas lights,and the decorations it was a winter wonderland. :D

He comes over here to smoke cigars,his wife won't let him,he doesn't know I know that.
Same thing here.

Our main street is already decorated. Each year the municipal administration arrange it so that the street lights are decorated with twinkling strings of lights and so on. It's really nice.

In addition I already started to sing along with some christmas karaoke songs on youtube. You should try it. It's funny and beefs up your christmas mood.

Few examples:

















My eyes always get wet when I sing along to Silent Night, Holy Night.

Anyway, let's sing!

Those are all really good songs.I love to sing Christmas music.You even listed my favoite one,Bing Crosby's White Christmas.I LOVE when he sings it in the movie Holiday Inn.Holiday Inn is my favorite Christmas movie.I also LOVE that movie because Fred Astaire is in it.I like when he shows up to the inn,in the movie and he's been drinking.I heard that they had him really drinking,so the scene would be more realistic.All I know is that Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are dreamy.I also super crush on Carey Grant!I love the movie An Affair to Remember.I've even been to to top of The Empire State Building. :D

Well sorry it's been a few days,since I was on the board.I have been so busy.I have the Christmas jars,I paint done.Tonight I'm gonna do Christmas cards.I will finish shopping next week,but I'm almost done.The kids will go Christmas shopping next weekend.Then the cooking must start!Plus during all of this,I still volunteer two days,have two Christmas partys to go to,one to host myself,and to Pastor to people[I love my job and I love God is my boss!].I love people and I love Christmas.And somehow The Good Lord finds time for me to do all of this. :D

The Nuremberg christmas market is probably Germany's most famous market. Unfotuntely I don't live close to Nuremberg which is in Bavaria. I live near Frankfurt which is in Hesse.

If you're interested, here's the homepage of the Nuremberg market:

Frankfurt also has its own market but it is extremely crowded so I usually tend to avoid that.

Nonetheless some impressions from Frankfurt:

I can see what you mean by extremely crowded! But it appears to be a spectacular event. Surely you've gone at least once,you know,to find out exactly whats going on over there...haha

By the way, Ray, is that you at the bottem of the second picture,looking toward the camera?

Run to me, run to water!
