Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
~smiles~
Ho ho ho!
The train is going to get a whole snowscape, but we didn't have time today ;~\
They have a tree up, in any case. We've never really done the outside lights deal. We did last year just a little...but they're so far off in the woods that only we see them and the kids at home aren't really that enthusiastic about putting 'em up.
We don't put up much here either, but we do have our lighted houseplant in the window.
The way I figure it... the more lights you put on a trailer house, the worse it looks ;~D
My family's the same way. We have a lighted wreath that gets hung on the side of the house each year - it's about six feet high but that's it. Our house is too tall to put lights on, anyway, Dad would kill himself.
Sounds like a very un-wierd album to want to hear at this festive season of the year. Do your friends prefer "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"?
Or is it that "Silent Night", "Away in a Manger", and "Hark the Harold Angel Thing"* cover it as far as Jesus is concerned, and it's time for Rudolph?
As far as I'm concerned, the best Christmas music is Christ-centered, and I enjoy "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland" as bonus material.
*A child of my cquaintance believed this to be the correct title, and believed it referred to a particular tree ornament. OTOH, as a child I thought the part in Messiah "All We Like Sheep" referred to the choir's appreciation for woolly animals.
One of them I believe prefers hip-hop versions of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". She has laughed at me because I've admitted I'm too white for her music.
My other friend likes secular Christmas music; "Carols belong in church". I just don't get it. It's weird, I guess Christianity's always been such a normal part of my life, I'm kind of freaked out by casual Christians.
(I'm sure that passage of "Messiah" is where this album's title is from. It's a very, very good album by Andrew Peterson. Has a nice rendition of "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks", and a whole bunch of original songs)
Almost forgot, there's a cool fishing thread here, if you didn't catch it already, 2J.

Good night All, again.
Or from Handel's source document :)
My family has our own personal version of the second verse of "Angels We Have Heard on High". It begins with "Shepherd's Wife" rather than "Shepherds, why?" and is of course the result of a child mis-hearing things.
Oh, yeah, and we all really like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", because our grandmother is the Christmas party-pooper. She doesn't like our family's decision not to "do" Santa Claus, and she's a killjoy anyway.
I saw your ping over there.... that's one heck of a fish!
Duh.... what's what? Oh, you mean that Bible thing people read at church on Christmas Eve and Easter Morning?
Look at the evil eye on that shark. Made for seeing in the dark.
Those things are good eating, at least.
I love trains, Hair, good pic, brings back memories.
Yes...be careful, though. It has a high level of Jesus content...even in the parts you don't expect...
Good night, all!
I suppose if someone played "The Holly and the Ivy" at me 34 times a day I'd get a tad weary of it...
Good night.
That might be a bit much, even for Castle Stormhands.
However, the next-door-neighbor has gotten "into the spirit." I've got work to do...
Awesome thread! Love the pictures of the barracuda!
