I've watched this video I don't know how many times...it's just so perfect...the lighting, little A with the lights, beautiful eyes and expressions of anticipation...so precious. and the music...absolutely perfect. Edelweiss...you should go into the children movie making business. You truly know how to wear the photos into such a beautiful story. Can't wait to see what you do with Christmas!

Thanks for asking about Opa, Chatty. He's fine, and his cuts are healing. He actually cut himself up with his metal wristwatch band. Am I a doting grandmother? Why nooooooo. Dee, funny you should say that. I would have loved to enter the business that Dotsie's son is doing; film making. I can't get over the animation films they do today. I think you have a talent with it too. Maybe in our next lives, hey? Chatty, Germans open their presents on Christmas Eve. We all get dressed up, and first go to church. Then stuff ourselves with a fondue dinner. Afterwards we open each present one by one, where everyone oooos and aaaaaaas.

Edelweiss...what a wonderful tradition. What kinds of fondue are you having this year? Be sure to tell us what Santa brings this year. Wanna share a movie perhaps?

Dee, you make me smile, you REALLY do.
Actually this should be an interesting Christmas Eve. My brother will be here, of course my mother, my son, Danny, with his soon to be x-wife, our granddaughter, and maybe our other son with their two babies will pop on over too. I just hope my DIL won't get bombed like last Christmas. Thank goodness we have enough beds and bedrooms...since everyone wants to sleep alone. Hah! Maybe I should put my DIL with my brother, and my mother with Danny...hee heee heeeeeeee.

Wow Edelweiss...you've got lots of room AND lots of juggling to do...have you ever seen the movie "A Griswald Christmas"? This might be a sequel... Seriously, you're brave, woman!!! My goodness...I hope your DIL doesn't get drunk, too. Anyway you can talk to her before things get out of hand? You still didn't tell me about your fondue. I've never had fondue so that might be a good thing to try at my party.

We serve mouth sized cut tender marinated steak. We have three fondue pots, with sizzeling oil, so there won't be any crowding when dipping the steak in. (4 people to one pot should be the maximum). About 8 self made sauces, from garlic, sour cream with chives to hot pepper sauces are served. On the side we have rolls of hot garlic buttered bread, and about three different kinds of salads. Red or rose' wine rounds the whole thing off. Danny usually shows up in the morning and is responsible for the sauces. I run around setting the table and getting everything ready. Hubby cuts the meat, and we all help make the salads. A fondue is fun, because the meal takes longer, since everyone is roasting their own meat. The drawback is; we all overeat and afterwards feel like rolling onto the floor and conking out. Yes, Dee I saw the movie. I hope this won't be a sequel. lol
