While out on a last minute trip to the
supermarket to pick up the ingredients for Christmas Eve Dinner, I noticed the
Toys R Us parking lot filled to capacity.
Since my boys are getting older, Toys R Us is not on the list of stores
anymore.
Sue’s mom, Peggy Walsh and her brother
Gerard are staying over tonight so we have a full house. Sue is busy wrapping presents, the football
game on in the background and it is already 430 and time to head to church.
The Seafood Fra Diavlo was really good if I
say so myself. Is nice to have the
family sitting around the table and shooting the breeze..
Luke really , really, really wants to open a present tonight.
Ironic how this day in history has the
lighting of the first national Christmas Tree, and now it seems that too many jurisdictions want
everything made into ‘holiday celebrations’.
Merry Christmas.
On this day in 1923, President Calvin Coolidge touches a button and lights up the first national Christmas tree to grace the White House grounds.
Not only was this the first White House "community" Christmas tree, but it was the first to be decorated with electric lights--a strand of 2,500 red, white and green bulbs. The balsam fir came from Coolidge's home state of Vermont and stood 48 feet tall. Several musical groups performed at the tree-lighting ceremony, including the Epiphany Church choir and the U.S. Marine Band. Later that evening, President Coolidge and first lady Grace were treated to carols sung by members of Washington D.C.'s First Congregational Church.
I really like Christmas, and can’t get TSO
off my mind. Was a great early Christmas
present. Is that odd as I was Bar Mitzvah in 1975 ?

This night
We pray
Our lives will show
This dream he had
Each child
Still knows
We are waiting
We have not forgotten
On this night
On this night
On this night
On this very Christmas night
We pray
Our lives will show
This dream he had
Each child
Still knows
We are waiting
We have not forgotten
On this night
On this night
On this night
On this very Christmas night
