'if the residents of masset and
old massett don't start putting up their
christmas decorations pretty quickly, he
won't be visiting us this year'.


The boys and I strung up the lights outside this weekend.

I just hate those pesky strings of lights that seem
fine when you test them, but after you string them up
they go dead.

Had a few of those.

Then we set up and decorated the tree.

Next I watched as my boys set up their Lionel train set.

It was cool.

I jogged some memories.

Especially when they would get all the train cars properly
seated on the track and then after one or two laps it would
derail for some strange reason. Always in the hard to reach
back section under the Christmas tree.

That same look of frustration was on each of their faces
was the one I had.
That same look of joy was there too.

Not much has changed in all these years...

LOL. Don't worry about Santa. We are gonna shoot him down because he doesn't file a flight plan, and we worry about unexpected blips on the radar. Shoot first, ax questions later. Good news is that we apparently no longer will torture him, if I understood Rice correctly. (<:
