Glad you managed to visit Ann before Christmas. I may not have posted much about your sister but have followed your story it is especially poignant as my mum's name is Ann also.

Bob, your poetry just blows me away. You are a genius with words.

Good Evening.

Here are some pictures of our handpainted Christmas Village.

[WVNan]

My decorations, like my home, are old fashioned. I stubbornly cling to the traditional colors and the old ornaments collected over the years.

[WVNan]

Oh, how adorable! She's a cutie, Nan

Isn't she a doll? Of course I'm not the least bit prejudiced.

[WVNan]

Beautiful Dave. How did you get the picture to come out with the candle glow? When I took the pictures in a dark room with only the tree lights, they still come out like it was daylight. I wanted to capture the lights, but with the digital camera it didn't work.

Went Christmas shopping today. We have a designer outlet in Ashford where you can get end of lines or lines specially made for the outlet. Such companies as Reebok, Addidas Cotton Traders etc are there. In the food court they have a lovely teddy bear Christmas display.

Here is a sign advertising come and visit Santa

I will post a few pictures of house decorated in my neighbourhood shortly.

[WVNan]

I'm realizing from all your pictures, Billie, that you live in a mansion.

Here are the photos of house decorated in our neighbourhood. You do not get the full impact of how good they are in the day time. There were also some others but really in the day time it was pointless taking a photo as they were lights only.

Beautiful Aqua. It looks so pretty against the white. Christmas in the South.....sigh.

36 years ago, Billie. I'm not ashamed of all those years. I made that thing when son was just born. He is 36 now. I forgot that he had another birthday and was thinking it was 35 yrs. At the same time I made Snoopy on top of his doghouse and Woodstock, plus several other characters. They have all fallen apart over the years, but Santa keeps on singing.

[WVNan]

Am so here. I'm just trying to catch up.

Love the spirit of Christmas in your neighborhood.

Merry Christmas!

[WVNan]

It's great to see some of the local housing in your town, snugs. You have become like a travelog for us here. Even if we came to England, we most likely would not see how the ordinary citizens live. Thank you so much.

I love your Christmas Village! It's beautiful. The church is really lovely.

[GodBlessUSA]

[GodBlessUSA]

[Mrs.Nooseman]
