ho ho ho and mistletoe



this third santa was made by my grandma knight......i miss her very much.....but each year i put him in a prominent place on my santa tree and i am reminded of her and all the wonderful times together...we would love going to hornell, new york to visit her....we loved christmas eve at her house....we would all gather in the parlor...yes the parlor....and we would each get new jammies from grandma and grandpa knight and then my aunt susan and uncle gary would give us slippers to match.....we'd get all cozy and then up to bed to get some sleep....cause santa was coming....christmas morning was full of presents, wrapping paper and bows everywhere....then the big dinner at her huge table....i used to think it was the biggest table of all time....we'd have 15 or more at dinner..mmm delicious meals she would make......great memories.......
