So anyways the wine is running out which means nostalgia thoughts Thanksgiving time before I hit the harder stuff! Can I get a woot woot!!!! So being away from the extended family has made me miss some of those great traditions everyone has durring the holidays. One of my favorites was, after we ate, we would go down to H.C. Pranges in Sheboygan to see the animatronic Christmas display. This was the 70's and early 80's ( I was to young in the 60's to remember it) before everything went digital or the old people died and the new generation could not figure out how to set this stuff up. Anyways they had all these wonderful animatronics mice and elves making toys and whatnot and ice skating children skating their lives away in a winter wonderland while Christmas music would play from the mono speakers and our eyes would light up with just the thought of Santa Clause. Good times for a kid! I kinda miss that and I wish my son, now a teenager, could experience it. Instead we have a tree lighting ceremony on Market Street tomorrow with the theme "Guns Across America!" or some such thing because the south. Now I am not against guns, I carry, but I think we missed the Holiday Spirit being in the south. We should all be like Loving Santa and such but the current political climate ensures I will have to deal with street preachers and protesters who both think that the way we live our lives are evil. Any way, do any of you have Thanksgiving traditions that you still do or maybe miss?
Edit: wow, a bit long winded there. sorry. I blame the wine.
That's the first time I actually got a "Woot Woot"! on the internet! My life is complete now. I will have to return to my kind! Peace be with you and all earthlings! May your teapot never overflow and your tents never get that musty smell they get when you put them away wet.
