Christmas Morning



I just LOVE when you get this reaction from a gift. 


We gave this gift to my MIDDLE child. 


It is just a bottle of wine... 


Or is it??


Who cares what it TASTES like,
the label is priceless!!

PSU Abington Commencement

Congratulations to Future Son In Law
for graduating in blue and white. 



He finished in 3.5 years! 
Way to go!



Below...the PSU Nittany Lion

And when your last name starts with Y
you might be the last one up!



Here's the proud fam and my daughter.



Here's a photo with me...
a rare moment in FRONT of the camera.





What were the colors of your school?
My college was blue and white too...
but it was not Penn State.

Christmas Light Extravaganza

Just around the corner from my home 
is a neighbor who goes all out for Christmas! 
Located on Butler Pike right at the 
Ambler Exit of Rt. 309 - 
You'll likely find a traffic jam 
of light seekers! 


For those of you who can't make it in person... 
here's a glimpse!








Yes, even Santa stops in for a visit...

The Comcast Experience HD Video Wall

The Comcast Center in Philly 
is worth visiting when you are in town. 
Click here for an outside view of the building.

Inside, the main lobby, 
which is open to the public,
 has a 2000 sq foot LED video wall 
that displays 'public art.' 


In this case, 
public art is 
an impressive video and musical 
production.





Don't forget too look up at the end
because it snows!!



I chose shots with touches of blue
for Midweek Blues,
but you can see more photos here.

Does your town or city
have a holiday sight to see?
Please share it with me.

Byers' Choice

Just a bit up the road from me 
is a Made in America 
success story:  Byers' Choice


Byers' Choice was started by Jane Byers - 
with roots in the 1960s 
of her first designs of Christmas Carolers.


Soon orders began to come in 
as others wanted Carolers of their own. 
And a business was born.


Today, you can visit their factory,
and watch the artists at work. 


You can also walk through villages 
of eternal caroling!


There are hundreds of their Carolers on display.


All the photos in this set 
have something in common.
Did you notice what it is?

 

Hopefully,
my friends from 
noticed!

A Christmas Tree Pilgrimage

Where I live the only places to buy Christmas trees
are in parking lots. 
:(  


I am soooo not buying a Christmas Tree from a parking lot.  
So we trek north to a Christmas Tree Farm. 
:) 


Not as far north as the North Pole...
but pretty close! 


We debate over which tree is the best tree.
And once decided, 
it is cut and hauled home. 


But first it is shaken....


and wrapped...


then placed on the rooftop.

 



And that completes our annual
Christmas Tree Pilgrimage!

Do you have an annual holiday tradition too?
Tell me about it!
