Nothing better than a vintage Christmas memory.

Coming home from midnight mass every year. Driving through drifted snow piles on the gravel roads. Trying to get home and get into bed before Santa got to our little country house. We ALWAYS saw Rudolph's nose shinning brightly in the sky. Just recently found out it was a nearby TV tower.

 

I have been buying up old childhood memories to put in my Jimmy.

Malibu Barbie was my latest find. She and I will be catching rays on a lawn chair in July. Sharing a Jim Beam & Coke .. well .. Barbie won't drink much she's pretty tight lipped.
Still have to find the Barbie camper I had.

 A metal Chinese checkers set like grandma used to have. We would play it when it on a rainy day while dipping our frozen sugar cookies in a cup of warm coffee. Yes coffee at age 10 ... grandma standing a whole 4 foot 11 inches tall always said it would stunt our growth.  Well I made it to 5 foot 4 and my face didn't stay that way either.
I purchased a 1972 set of old maid cards just like grandmas which I am sure I will be making a drinking game out of . She would NOT approve ... gggrrrrr

 

The weather has gotten slightly cold but I'm still working on the inside of my little canned ham Jimmy.  I purchased a new lock for the door so I could remove the jankie big old padlock . Will have to repair the holes when I get to the outside beautification.. I think the Christmas lights make it pretty beautiful in the moon light this eve of eve.

 

As for now I will enjoy the holidays with family and friends and feel blessed. I think back to childhood Christmas memories and hope my children and grandchildren will have some vintage memories one day too.

Merry Christmas Friends.
