(Again, I wish I had my negatives to post pics for this one)
From Oct 1997 – Dec 2000 I was involved in A Christmas Carol at Glendale Centre Theatre.
OK. That’s only partly true. It was just during the holiday season those years.
I started doing theater at church and at school when [...]
I long ago lost count of the number of times I have gone driving to see Christmas lights … We used to do it every year with my family. Then, once I got older I definitely went once or twice with my church high school group. I’ve never been with Andrew, though. We should [...]
I have a couple different Christmas gifts that I will never forget for various reasons…
StereoTotally cliche, right? One year for my ‘big gift’ from my parents, I got a 5 disc CD player.
Which immediately became a part of my daily life.
This has to be one of my most memorable gifts for [...]
I love the way my family did stockings for Christmas …. another one of those traditions that you love because it’s familiar. …
LocationI don’t remember the place we lived in Arizona. I only vaguely remember our apartment in Newhall when we first moved to California. But there’s a photo — somewhere, I’ve seen [...]
I have had my own home on and off for the last 6+ years. Not really long enough to have an established routine or annual staples. That’s something, hopefully, Andrew and I can have in the future.
When I lived alone, I didn’t really bother having a Christmas tree. I did get a mini [...]
I don’t remember really believing in Santa. I must have, right? All kids do. Plus, I got gifts from Santa under my own tree.
But I definitely remember seeing Santa around ….
Andy SchubertThe other night, I noticed that my father in law’s goatee is almost completely white. And that made me think about [...]
I LOVE love love that Amazon has that ‘wishlist’ feature. If I only ever get gifts off of my wishlist,I would be satisfied.
I’d love a new PlayStation — and LEGO Batman game to go with it.I’d love another Wii game like Mario Kart of Wii Fit.I’d love all the Cosby show DVDs so [...]
Isn’t it funny that Santa always has the same handwriting as your mom and dad?
When we were growing up, Kevin and I always knew some things would be true at Christmas –
Gifts would be hidden in Mom and Dad’s closet. Not gonna lie to you – I totally snooped. And I bet [...]
Last week, I was singing “The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful … ” and my friend and work teased me that the song isn’t really appropriate for Southern California.
Of course, this guy grew up in Buffalo, NY, and spent many year in Iowa. His view of Christmas weather [...]
Awesome movie poster Got my new Ben Folds’ CD. Love that man. There is so much I love about his song-writing. In fact, I actually have an entire blog post written (release date unknown) about how Ben Folds makes me want to be a song writer. Watching Friends w/ Julie is so funny [...]
When we were growing up, the Hann family had an Advent Calendar. I don’t remember if my mom did it every year or not, but a lot of years in my childhood.
The Advent Calendar was/is designed (mom, do you have a picture?) out of kind of a burlap fabric — if I’m remembering [...]
The traditional *start* of the holiday Christmas season for my family has always been Thanksgiving night.
After we had our big meal, sometimes have already taken our nap. …. someone breaks out the Christmas music and — we’re off!
In fact, my dad used to be quite militant about not listening to any Christmas [...]
