Can't explain it...it's a mystery.

I get tears in my eyes whenever I listen to this.   :shrug:

Wreaths Across America is a nice program. It takes place in towns all over the US, where volunteers lay wreaths on the graves of veterans. They even did it in our little town (sponsored by a local business). Keep an eye out for it next December and join in!

Happy birthday, Jesus, and a Merry Christmas to all of you.

What a pretty picture, Wayne! Of course, thanks to man-made climate change f/k/a global warming, we'll be heading to the golf course later today (as we did yesterday) here in the northeast. Best Christmas ever!

Did I hear someone say "golf course"?   :chien:

Spent Christmas eve with my son and daughter in law, then came home only to find Santa left his stuff here so did not get to bed till midnight.
I have put together wagons, built Rube Goldberg Machines, made a solar powered robot only to find out that because it is raining and congress killed all my incandescent light bulbs the damn thing won't work till the sun comes back out.
I have retrieved a quad-copter from the trees more times than I can count.  Built hexbug mazes and all while eating more than I should have.
All 10 of us invaded my poor 83 year old mother and ate some more and brought home a pick up truck load of stuff so I could put more stuff together.
 
I am beat... ready for normal.
 
But it was fun...
