Ahhh... I dont have the shopping gene and would never travel that far. They used to have bus trips from where I lived in Jersey to Reading. It was a big source of entertainment. I went to Lancaster a few times for different things and there is a huge outlet there. Maybe it is the same one. By the number of big busses I cant imagine they were all there to see the people in buggies. I cannot find a picture of a cotton wrapped tree online. I do have some in my camera and will post when I get it developed. It was really cool. I made an Easter tree like that once but it was on a small scale. This thing was huge. Thank you Eggie. I love crafting and anything colorful and it has been a long time since I made anything so it was a lot of fun for me. Kinda like rediscovering something in myself. I love when that happens.

Egbok, your tumbleweed snowman is so cute! Gidget, nice colorful ornaments on your tree! Maris, I'm glad to hear someone else likes villages. I have a smaller Dept. 56 village too, a Rudolph village, and my newest: "A Christmas Story" village, and a few other small villages of different kinds.

Probably all references to biting should remain on The Farm.

For the first year since the kids were born, we won't be seeing Santa on Christmas Eve. For many years, our friend played Santa until my oldest niece recognized him a couple years ago, then his dad took over the last couple years. This year dads been ill (nothing serious) and isn't up to doing it for the kids. It's always been such a fun tradition with the kids and gets them calmed down some so that they'll go to bed early. So instead this year, we're hosting a little Christmas get together for the kids. Cookies, hot chocolate, Christmas songs, and letting them open one present each then off to look at lights. Do ya'll have fun Christmas Eve traditions?
