Horne's isn't in business anymore. Neither is Kaufman's or Gimble's. But their Christmas window displays were as close to visiting Disneyland as we could get back in the early 60's. Animated characters from tiny mice up to and including St. Nicholas himself swirled and danced in the big department store windows. Before the shopping mall, one of the great treats of the season was going downtown to gawk at the store windows.Christmas in Pittsburgh. The tree at Horne's Department store downtown. We love fireworks in Pittsburgh!

What a charming town! I imagine tourists are booking hotel rooms early to tour McAdenville!Christmas City - Mcadenville, NC. Across the Catawba River from Charlotte. There's a driving route through the town during December every year. People come by the thousands every night in cars and buses.It is one fantastic sight. This is only a few pictures.

Tomorrow begins with the baptism of my eight year old nephew. It's down in the neighboring town of Wellsville.
In my faith, baptism happens to infants. The proud parents come up to the baptismal font, a huge clam shell on a concrete pedesta. Everything in Trinity Presbyterian was concrete except the chambers holding the organ pipes which were covered with oak strip flooring oriented vertically, and the oak pews. Other than that, Calvinism meets architecture in a symphony of cold gray concrete.
The parents cradle their wee bairn and the minister reaches into the clam shell and draws out a handful of East Liverpool tap water. A blessing is said, the baby's fontenel is wetted and tears of joy are dabbed away from every attending mother's eye.
But my nephew is going to be fully emersed. And this particular chapel does not have a water heater for their baptismal pool. My nephew expressed his concern over getting dunked in December water. He told my brother that he intends to wear a long sleeve shirt to stave off the chill. No one has the heart to tell him that long sleeves won't protect him against chilly water.
By the way, anybody else notice how the days are getting longer?

Dropping by to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and great New Year. Enjoy your holiday and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
Wow, I just logged on and have been looking at those wonderful pictures you have put up, FF. They are all so beautiful and resplendent of this wonderful season we are privileged to enjoy.
I do wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I also wish for continued prosperity for the USMB Coffee Shop. I am having a terrible time typing correctly as I slit the index finger on my left hand at work yesterday. lol. It is better today. That antibiotic cream works wonders and fast but it is the bandaid that is causing me to slow down and just be grateful it wasn't my hand I chopped off while trying to wrap a 3 x 4 feet framed picture with cardboard and a huge tape gun, for a customer.
How great to see BBD again. I hope he and his beautiful wife are doing fantastically, as always. What a handsome couple they are. I remember pics he put up a few years ago.
Well, cheers to all CS regulars and to the owner hersef who makes her place the sweetest of all in USMB land to come to. I can just smell the hot cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate with marshmallows right this very minute and wish I had some.

Glad to hear it! Merry Christmas, Ernie!Don't y'all worry about me, I'm like a bad penny.Well, well! Look what the cat drug in then wouldn't eat!I'm fine, ma!
Just been busy and not particularly eager to discuss politics. Sorry if I've worried you and my siblings.
I think going back to where I left off is too daunting a task for my schedule. I would appreciate it if y'all would give me the Cliff Notes so I don't embarrass myself.
Business is good. Personal life... interesting.
How ya been, Ernie? People been worrying about you.
