I hope you find a copy of that tape by some miracle. What a wonderful thing to be able to have!<br/><br/>*La Delirante, ciao, welcome, and thanks for commenting! I will certainly visit you :)<br/><br/>*Giulia, I know a lot of people think thousands of lights is a bit of overkill, but when I think of how much planning and work has to go into such a display, I can't help but admire it. I mean I curse enough with just one or two strings of lights per year ;)<br/><br/>*Carla, too funny! It's kind of hard to forget such a light, eh?<br/><br/>*NYC, I'm so happy to know that you're enjoying it! I'm really loving writing about these memories and I can only hope that others enjoy reading them :)<br/><br/>*Karina, exactly. And I particularly loved that it was just my brother and me who had heard the noise and no one else. Just something between us three :)<br/><br/>*Scarlett, sentimental at Christmas? No better time I say :)<br/><br/>*Susie, glad you enjoyed and thanks for commenting!<br/><br/>*Ryan, 'tis the season! Can't wait to read your family's traditions :)<br/><br/>*David, sing it my brother ;)<br/><br/>*Taffiny, if I knew how to get the video from the DVD onto YouTube, I'd definitely do it; I looked up directions quickly, but it seemed a bit beyond my technological capacity (especially since I was hoping to do it within an hour or so) ;)<br/><br/>I am happy to hear that these writings are good for the Christmas spirit. It's far too easy to get down during the holidays--these are helping me stay "up" too :)<br/><br/>*Zandria, I do generally have a pretty good memory, you're right. A lot of these, though, were things that happened every single year--those are hard to forget :) *Jeni, indeed. I hope you find a copy of that tape by some miracle.

At least it speaks well of your memory in general, I think...I tend to forget things pretty easily. (Hey, at least I can admit it!) :) You certainly have a lot of memories about the Christmas holiday! At least it speaks well of your memory in general, I think…I tend to forget things pretty easily.

Touching about the footsteps.

I can’t help but want to see a bit of video of little Sognatrice. (tantrums? But you seem so sweet now)

There is a house a few blocks away that goes all out for the holidays (music too), and we go and get in line, to drive past it.

This is very good, thank you, helps put one in a good christmas spirit.
