Christmas at our house - 2015

 Christmas at our house -  2015 

This year we had Christmas Day 
at our house,
but with only one set of grandkids 
with us for Christmas Day! 

Notice the "Amazon" boxes under the tree - 
it seems we ordered 95 % of the gifts online this year.
It beats fighting the crowds at the mall, etc. 

We saw our PA grands at Thanksgiving, 
and our FL grands
came up Sunday night after Christmas.  
Our WI grands were
with us for Christmas Day this year!

Video - "Music Of Christmas" by Percy Faith and his Orchestra




If you are looking for beautiful Christmas music, just plug your computer into your smart TV or stereo speakers and listed to this album. MUSIC OF CHRISTMAS is one of my favorites for the season, 
and one that I play over and over. 
Percy Faith was one of the best arrangers/conductors of
popular instrumentals in the 1950s and 1960s.
