Christmas Eve 2015 - Christmas Wish


What I really wanted for Christmas all those years ago but never got. Oh well, the Snoopy Drive-In Movie was my other dream present and I got that one.

Christmas Morning 2015

From Dale's blog:

"So this is Christmas at our house right now.  My present happens to be sitting next to the tree in a Santa hat.
We were listening this morning to this Annie Lennox album.  Her versions of these songs may be the best renditions of well-known Christmas carols I’ve ever heard.  She makes all the songs fresh and interesting.

Finally, I am laughing in the second picture because Joe is singing along to some silly song and has no idea (I think) that I was taking this picture of both of us."

"We’ll have our very non-traditional Christmas celebration later this afternoon with Christmas lasagna, stir fried green beans, tons of garlic bread, and an “IT Crowd” marathon (or at least half-marathon), I hope.  Funniest damned British comedy I’ve ever seen … and I’ve seen quite a few.
I hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas!"

Christmas 1984 - Visit to Santa


I don't remember sitting on Santa's lap as a kid. Mom says she remem-

bers taking Sam and me to see Santa once but didn't have pictures taken. I have a vague recollection of going to Dayton's department store downtown Minneapolis and getting in a line and I remember some kind of Christmas gift shop that you ended up in after going through this line. Aside from that though, I don't remember sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what I wanted most for Christmas. Being a somewhat anxious kid, maybe I chickened out. Later on, during my college freshman year in 1984, Santa set up shop in the student union accompanied by a photographer. Feeling I had missed out before, I wasn't going to let another chance go by.
