His mother married an American soldier also but he came here. <br />I will be in Melbourne this year and was thinking of going to the zoo but if its nice I am thinking of heading to the beach. although its more lonely at the beach when you are alone where as the zoo there are others and the animals. last time met a girl from Vietnam who I share some time with. <br />I use to take my nieces to the playground christmas day when the adults rested. did this with the pastors children too. always found a game of backyard cricket taking place (we played it many time in our own backyard on Christmas day and I know its often played at the beach).Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-55102458552635666722011-12-08T15:11:59.030-08:002011-12-08T15:11:59.030-08:00Hi Jenny!

She'd met her husband who was stationed there during the war. At the end of the war she and an entire ship of brides came to America to be with their husbands. She was not more than about 20 years old at the time. When I was doing her hair she was in her late 60's. She had never gotten to go back home after the boat ride over here and always talked about going to the beach on Christmas day. I always loved hearing her talk about her home and her family there. <br /><br />I'm with you on The Little Drummer Boy. That is such a precious story. ON the Country Christmas special the other night Faith Hill sang it beautifully.Debra Cloptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858790200554274867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-80977481900568588492011-12-08T14:14:20.969-08:002011-12-08T14:14:20.969-08:00I heard Texas got some snow this week.

We use to watch lots of movies in the lead up to christmas on tv. (why they dont put many on now beats me) and we would have Christmas specials too. Not sure about books either. I had some Christmas stories (bible books). I think it was fun watching christmas in Winter when we have it in summer.<br /><br />Its funny bit I dont remember watching Its A wonderful Life at Christmas it was on at other times of the year and never hit me as being a Christmas movie. But then alot of American's have it as there favourite Christmas movie and I saw it again last year and could see that it is.<br />I hope we start to get some on soon as I do love watching them on the lead up to Christmas.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-29565542230589115702011-12-08T14:08:00.469-08:002011-12-08T14:08:00.469-08:00Winnie, I love Charlie Brown and the pitiful littl...Winnie, I love Charlie Brown and the pitiful little tree.

For you snow is as common as rain and since we Texans are right now suffering from one of the worst droughts in history--snow in your area is way more common than rain. I've teased my kids in West Virginia all summer that I had to go up there just to remember what raindrops looked like. <br />:)Debra Cloptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858790200554274867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-65631665692756237882011-12-08T10:47:04.929-08:002011-12-08T10:47:04.929-08:00Hi Debbie.

One of my favorite Christmas movies as a kid was Charlie Brown Christmas - loved that he selected that scraggly little tree and the gang transformed it into something beautiful. As I got older though, I fell in love with the traditional It's A Wonderful Life.Winnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-19457444816453349762011-12-08T10:15:33.161-08:002011-12-08T10:15:33.161-08:00Love the photo Debbie!

It is straight out of a movie. <br /><br />White Christmases are pretty much a given here in northern Michigan, so there wasn't any eager anticipation. We'd usually had snow for weeks already. <br /><br />My favorite as a child was The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I always felt so sorry for the poor, devoted dog. And of course I adored Cindy Lou Who. Okay, I'll admit I still love that show.Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-68683861207368255742011-12-08T05:52:55.598-08:002011-12-08T05:52:55.598-08:00Karen,

Haha, we'd actually been leading a pack of cars across the mountain and the snowplow had just gotten in front of us to lead the rest of the way into town. I was excited to be out of the car for a few minutes and able to actaually hold the snow. It was and adventure :)<br /><br />I loved Fosty the Snow Man...wanted to save him too. :)<br />I loved the voice of Burl Ives too. His voice from that movie just sounds like Christmas.Debra Cloptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858790200554274867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-6506093775017728712011-12-08T05:38:42.466-08:002011-12-08T05:38:42.466-08:00Missy,
