This page has a little history of Christmas things that have been with us for several years

and some that are now gone.

The Carolers in this photo were purchased at Wal-Mart in December of 1983. My Mother who is now with the Lord

went shopping with me that day while on a visit. They have been used in our home each year since that time. The lamp post was

purchased several years later in California. The little dog is 26 years old and was a gift from Tim to his Mother.

They come together to make a great Christmas scene.

This little fellow was a gift from Virginia to me last Christmas. He sings 'O Christmas Tree' as only a dog could! Annie, did not like

this little guy. We only played it when she was in another room.

Speaking of Annie....she is always in our hearts. We miss her so much...and especially at this time of year.

She is now at 'The Bridge' waiting for us with no more pain and can run and run and never get tired.

Her 'box' sits on top of the book shelf with a picture of her and Haylie at the pond.

The water globe was a gift to my Mother in 1974 and was given back to me when she passed. It also is musical

and plays 'Oh Little Town of Bethlehem". The musical angel on the

right side was purchased at the same time the carolers were. It plays 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'.
