Merry Christmas to you and your family!

We'll wish you a Merry Christmas using a photo from our favorite Christmas movie, the beloved Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie. We've loved watching this movie over the years. We've found a site that has a lot of behind-the-scene stories about the movie including answer to  the question we and others have asked.....what makes the cute little red haired doll on Misfit Island a misfit, and what scenes were deleted from the original movie and then added back in for later airings. Lots of fun facts! Click HERE to go to the site.

We wish you and yours the best of everything this Christmas

We're taking our Christmas vacation now and will return after the holidays 

Christmas Appetizers-Hot Chocolate, Mini Sausage Wreath, Christmas Coal Popcorn and more!
