Christmas Events 2004

 

  On Christmas, we celebrate with whatever family is close - our own little family, our extended family on the wife's side, our extended family on the husband's side or all of us. This year we were lucky enough to have all our family together for a giant Christmas celebration.

Merry Christmas

  Christmas Morning Brunch The table setting for Christmas brunch. This was held at the Husband's Mother's house. This is the same table that was around for my very first Christmas! And the same Mother!

  Even my mother uses the little metal Christmas Trees. These are vintage models coming from 1998 or so, based on some simple carbon dating done with my CarbonChronograph 2000. Little Christmas Trees on the Table

  Buster Celebrates Too A key event to Christmas is to have Buster the Dog get his gift. Here, he takes his little, song-singing Christmas Puppy into his soft mouth and gently rocks it (and himself) to sleep (note the eyelids).

  Before the Brunch and before the Christmas opening festivities, the stockings are extracted from the new, forged stocking rods. Here, the girls bask in the luxurious, stocking size gifts. Note that both wear the basic "Hoodie" sweatshirt and the print flanel PJ bottoms. Stocking Extraction

  Under the Tree Once the stockings are cleaned out, its time to go to work on the trees growing about the tree. Santa was pretty busy this year, wrapping his stuff in Santa paper. I don't have any "Husband" paper.

  Another Hoodie. This makes the third Junior picked up this year - all three for a school in the state which her parents went. This one won't be on her list as it is an all-male college. Another Hoodie

  Crazy Scarf Here's my niece, Junior's cousin showcasing a scarf she received for Christmas. This scarf is unique in the number of ways it can be worn. It also matches most everything, not the least of which is my niece's photogenic smile!

  A large part of the whole crew (retouched) - this being my wife's side of the family. From right to left is: College band nephew, married niece, niece's husband, wife, John-John-the-Bubble-Man (with the hat), unmarried niece, little girl, sister-in-law, Golphing nephew, sister-in-law, brilliant brother-in-law.

  The Greatest Gifts of All Here's a bunch of pictures of others who were at the Outcrop Acres Christmas 2004 Extravaganza! Thanks to all who came and to all the millions of you who share the joy with us every year! Seasons Greetings (which I do say to people out loud).

  There's plenty more adventure left! Click on one of the following to continue this festive tour of the Outcrop Acres Christmas 2004 fantasia:
