A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-23, 24, 25, 26-05....Home for the Holidays

Posted on 12/23/2005 12:04:48 AM PST by Mama_Bear



Oh, there's no place like
home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, 'cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.

I did see your message in fact I thought I had answered it. I am so glad you like the chocolate tree decorations they are so much part of the English Christmas. Everyone seems to have a story of a dog or cat or a child eating them in the case of the pet very often causing damage and havoc with the tree.

I have been very good this year my tree is still intact with no decorations eaten yet. The only decoration that is not chocolate on mine is the fairy on top. My tree has exactly the same decorations that I sent to you.

Have you tried the custard yet I will be interested to hear what you think of it?

There you are!!! No, I haven't tried the custard yet, mostly because I've been too busy to prepare it. I'll sample some either tonight or tomorrow. I'm now trying to get all my Christmas greetings finished here. I keep remembering people that I want to wish a Merry Christmas. This could go on all night, LOL. Again, thank you so very much.

I have never seen a Chip Davis/Mannheim Steamroller video....but Pat a Pan, Still, Still, Still and Veni Veni - O Come O Come Emanuel are my favorites. (For some reason the sound is very low on that particular wav. I have to turn my speakers way up to hear it.)

I am so glad you did. The story behind them is that a colleague at work had the card given to him and I asked if I could borrow it to scan the picture as I thought of you immediately I saw it.

LOL. Must be in our genes. I thought I was the only person who puts off everything until the last minute.
