I enjoyed seeing your anglophilic selections from Dept. 56.<BR/><BR/>I've been offline for a couple days until tonight. I am currently a refugee from the power outage caused by a big ice storm her in Massachusetts. I woke up Friday to no heat, no light, actually no electricity. So also, no internet, no home telephone and sheets of ice over everything on my deck outside. Trees were snapped and hanging across my smashed side fence, across the front lawn. Thankfully none struck the house. I and my 90-year-old mother are now 50 miles south with my sister and her family. I hope to return on Monday as that's when the electric company's web site estimates the power will be back on.<BR/>CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008155356923332277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-43025954008729974812008-12-12T07:57:00.000-08:002008-12-12T07:57:00.000-08:00Andrea- Everyone needs an aunt like that!Sher- A m...Andrea- Everyone needs an aunt like that!<BR/><BR/>Sher- A merry Christmas to you, as well!

The last Christmas gift that she sent to me in 2007 was the Chipmunk's Christmas C.D. This was so out of character for her....she usually sends a wreath or a box of fruit or tea bags and a tea pot. I have to smile now as I think of the whimsical thoughts that must have been going through her mind as she thought of me last year and chose this gift. I spent my 12th b.d. at her wonderful oceanfront summer cottage in Connecticut. I'll treasure those memories of her and my Great-Uncle Tony forever. <BR/>Loved the pink tree, and the village is absolutely glorious! My Aunt Rose would have appreciated your whimsical mind, Jenn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-77074903913417851962008-12-10T11:03:00.000-08:002008-12-10T11:03:00.000-08:00Tiddles- Oh my... :)Da Old Man- Heh, didn't you kn...Tiddles- Oh my... :)<BR/><BR/>Da Old Man- Heh, didn't you know I was going to install my All-Chipmunks Christmas Soundtrack on the blog this weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-1847113040802117542008-12-10T10:46:00.000-08:002008-12-10T10:46:00.000-08:00I always like to listen to Christmas music when lo...I always like to listen to Christmas music when looking at this stuff.
