HO HO HO! Merry Christmas


I really should be packing right now. For those of you that don't know, we're scheduled to hit the road tomorrow morning for North Chicago. Mother Nature apparently didn't get the memo though because there's a winter storm bearing down on us as we speak and another on the way Sunday. So far, the plan still stands. We've adjusted our route a little further south, but the weather is covering our entire path.

It's been snowing here for over an hour now, and there's at least an inch on the ground, and the worst is yet to come.

And, that is the reason I'm procrastinating. So, you win. Here's our collection of Santa Photos from this year.

That top photo up there, that's the OFFICIAL Macy's Santa. Wow is he good! As anyone who's been to Disney knows, their lines are even themed, and so is Santaland at Macy's. It's the Macy's at Herold Square-the one you see in the background for all the Thanksgiving Parades. It's amazing. Another "not to be missed" in NYC if you're there at the right time.

Then, we attended our town's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Santa was there too. Neither kid was too keen on hanging around him too long. I'm actually holding Lise' in the sleigh to get the shot. Too bad it came out fuzzy. There was no redo.


And, last but not least, Santa apparently loves the little children of Atlantic Highlands! This past Monday night, Santa came around to all the houses in our town to say hello to all the children. He stopped right in front of our house. He was escorted by the ambulance. It was great. They could climb into his sleigh and chat with him as long as they wanted.

the exact same thing happened with my "nice" ornaments. I can't remember the last time I saw them, but the cheapy, plastic balls are great for now. Michael has discovered they bounce a little when you throw them on the tile floor :) Oh the joys of small children! we have many more ornaments on the floor than actually on the tree. Also, your gingerbread train is so cute...we're jealous :)
