This one seems a little silly now. When my kids were little, we used to play the tape The Muppets Christmas with John Denver and sing along all the way to grandma's house. Maybe I should dig out that tape again. Hold that thought! Our car plays CD's now, not casettes.

Anyone know where I can get a potable cassette player these days? LOL

Jackie, I still have that CD...it's one of my favourites. So much so that a few years ago when I realized I had given it away to someone, I had to go and order it again! So I ordered two copies, one to keep and another one to give away. Some of those songs are quite beautiful.

My entire family always came to my house until last year where we had fried smelts and warm italian bread and salad. I remember this happening every year since I was a baby but then we gathered at my Grandmothers. We enchanged homemade Christmas cookies too. I remember the fish & bread was a symbol of Jesus feeding the multitude with a loaf of bread and a fish in the Bible. Now everyone is busy on Christmas Eve so I fry the smelts just for me, eat warm crunchy Italian bread and watch Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation...thats my Christmas Eve tradition.

Chatty, don't be surprised if hubby and I end up on your doorstep next year for Christmas Eve! We don't do anything special on the 24th, just a light supper and maybe a game of dominoes with hubby's daughter and my brother.

We're already talking about doing something completely different next year, for a variety of reasons I won't go into here. Maybe we have to look into planning a stopover at your place Dec 24th, 2006...
