Seasonal

The Santa and sleigh and reindeer have been a staple of our Christmas for more than 50 years. The originals were made by my brothers around 1960. Roger and I made new ones about 8 years ago when our grandchildren came. Many cold days and nights in the back garage cutting and painting but am so glad we did (Roger not so much). Happy Holidays everyone. I was waiting for the 6-10 inches of snow promised so it would be prettier but can't wait forever.

Memories

Santa made his annual visit to the Brunets. (2005) Grayden saw a red light in the sky after the visit, and he said, "Oh look, there he goes.  There's Rudolph's nose lighting up the sky." It, of course. was an airplane. He also couldn't understand where Santa's reindeer and sleigh were as "Santa" was dumped off by Mrs. Claus in a car. Grandpa told him that Santa had to leave the sleigh and reindeer at the airport (we live only 5 miles from airport) as there was no snow on the ground. We were pretty impressed with Gramp's (unusual) quick thinking. Ha.
