today, as a means of channeling christmas spirit and experimenting in self-torture, i’ve been listening to common ground’s christmas album and recalling some of my favorite christmas memories of the past couple years…
my niece lillian hunting for more presents after opening at least a dozen…
all the men receiving warm headgear. some wear theirs better than others…
ice skating at pan am plaza in downtown indy…
the greatest santa hat in all creation…
my sister’s kids all tearing into their gift of a karaoke machine, which my brother spent the day monopolizing. and the box of which my niece addison spent much of the afternoon in…
being confounded by “the christmas polka” during caroling sessions…
my brothers being gentlemen shoveling and salting the driveway. even tony in his $700 shoes…
my nieces michela & payton receiving hannah montana guitars & mics and serenading us with “the best of both worlds” ALL DAY LONG…
just four numbers… 1-9-8-9…
spending one last christmas with some of my favorite friends…
hopefully some more christmas posts to come… until then, happy holidays!
