If you were a kid in Michigan City in the 50's and 60's like I was no Christmas season went by without seeing these Christmas classics! They were usually on Garfield Goose, I think - enjoy!

Ho, ho, ho!

Enjoy -

Advent started on Sunday, the start of the liturgical year. I have noticed quite a few Christmas trees as I peep while driving. This morning, I was pleased to see a giant display in the 'hood still on at 0600. It was a cheerful way to start the day, and it accounts for my great mood.

While I'm a child of a baby boomer, I have fond memories of Christmas in City in the late 60's and 70's.
These are a few of my favorite Christmas things...

-Making ice cream out of snow
-Baking cookies with my Grandma and her letting me decorate them. No matter how much of a mess I made with the icing and sprinkles, Grandma said my cookies looked better than any of those "store bought" ones.
-Cream of Wheat and Hot cocoa
-spraying that fake snow in the picture window around the edges, then going out to the front yard to see how beautiful the tree was in the clear oval where we didn't spray the fake snow.
-Drinking wassail and singing carols (of course MY wassail wasn't spiked with rum)
-talking to my relatives that live in Montana on Christmas Eve.
-Dancing in the living room with my Grandma while we listened to Christmas music on the MC radio station (IIRC it was WIMS)
-That fine turkey dinner at the VFW--my Grandpa was the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer for many years at "the club" and he would always cook that fine Turkey dinner.
-Going out with Grandpa to cut down the tree, then listening to him cuss in German because the lights were all tangled up.

*sigh*
Oh, to be a child again.....
Life was so much simpler back then
