We have come to the end of the Christmas Countdown journey. I hope everyone enjoyed my posts. The very last house is noted as Reindeer Manor but, I don’t see any Reindeer. Oh, well. Have a grand New Year’s Eve and I will see you next year. ~Vic

I’m not entirely sure that the Earth Globe thing is gingerbread. I think the gingerbread people are stuck into a styrofoam ball. If that is a gingerbread ball, I want to see the “ball” cake pan.

This has been a very nice Christmas. The previous two years…no. It is encouraging to see us emerge from overlord-induced madness. Many truths are coming to the surface and I am excited. Merry, merry Christmas to everyone! ~Vic

I don’t know Jason Hawkins but, a buddy of mine, that runs the town’s hardware store, displayed this one. I am not surprised at all, either. He is a character and, apparently, so is the Hawkins guy. ~Vic
