Scenes from Christmas 2010

So far, anyway ...

 

1. The big guy takes his place on the chalkboard wall:

The idea was inspired by a simple picture of Santa hanging above the fireplace at Chaps restaurant, here in Spokane. I'll have to drop in there and take some photos before Christmas is over. Your jaw would drop if you could see firsthand how owner Celeste Shaw has decorated that place for the holidays (using mostly old junk and vintage treasures).

2. What's left over from a cookie exchange ... that we just attended this morning (!!!).

 

3. An impromptu day of sledding at our friend Hans' house.

 
 

 

 

More to come. Hope your world is merry, too.

Hi! I'm a new reader and I just found your blog today through Odeedoh. I just had to check out your blog because you live in Spokane and I have family there. Then, I had to comment because you said you went sledding at the home of a friend named Hans. It wouldn't happen to be Hans DeBoer would it? If so, he was married to my grandmother for many many years until very recently. I know it's a fat chance but how many Hans can there in Spokane? Anyway, Happy New Year to you!

Ha, ha, no, Megan, it's a different Hans. But how weird would that have been?! It's a smally bloggy world. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Very weird indeed! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Hello,

I was just going through few sites and blogs yesterday and came across your site http://pennycarnival.typepad.com/ too. I really liked the way you have presented your site. I was reading some of your content and really found them interesting and informative. So I was just wondering if I can also do something for your site.

Actually I am a freelance content writer and for some days I am writing articles related to party, event and entertainment. What if I provide you with an unique article as a Guest Post absolutely FREE!! An article that will be informative for your readers.

The article will be related to your website and will be appreciated by your readers.It would be great if you can add a small BIO of mine at the end of the article with my related site's links. I guarantee you that the article will be 100% copy scape protected and will be of more than 500 words.

Please let me know if this sound good to you, so that we can start working on your article.. :)

Best Regards,
Sarah James
