Christmas Is Coming !

Okay - everyone search your archives, and your neighbors' and your distant relatives' ! :)
Look for: the animated Christmas card put out maybe 8-10 years ago -
It starts with a tiny speck in the distance. As it draws nearer, winding zig-zaggedy, you can see it is red. And it is a ball. It is coming fast & furious. When it hits your monitor screen you see & hear, with a Very Loud thump of course, Santa spread-eagle smashed, on your screen....
eyeball to eyeball, so's to speak.
It is startlingly hilarious - but over the years of computer crashes, new computers, lightening strikes, grandma's flying fingers, it has gotten lost. My DON's secretary gave it me - & I can't find her name in these aluminum coils behind my eyes !!! And to think the opthamologist told me two weeks ago he was looking in my brain & my eyes were the health of a 20 year old....didn't say anything about the pathways resembling Pilgrim's Progress !!!!:laugh:

Grandma, that is absolutely fabulous & inventive!:D

What??? You did not come up with that one??? ;)

I will keep that in mind one year!
 
Actually...This Magic Moment" is the title of a song written by lyricist Doc Pomus and pianist Mort Shuman. It is one of their best known hits.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Magic_Moment#cite_note-0 It was first recorded by Ben E. King and The Drifters and it reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. It was rendered anew by Jay and the Americans in 1969 and ranked even higher, hitting number 6 in early 1969 and earning gold record status.

Course, some people seem to like to settle for second best...I prefer the best.

I had to come back & do a disclaimer - that isn't my house, nor is it my decorations.

Grandma,
You are way to modest ~~ and you definately underestimate your influence. ;)

OK - Begin the soft violins in the background:

You see Grandma -- some people just have 'class' and when they walk into a home it becomes transformed. There's probably no better way to explain it.

So with that in mind --- we have the drab and blaaaaah

Until that 'Magic Moment' :toung::nuts:

So once you enter it becomes 'Your House' and it is 'Your Decorations' that bring it to life.


Ahhhh .... now that all of us are on the same page ...
