From Peggy and I. The photo is a model of the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona that I made for one of our challenges a few years ago. It is a predominate and cherished feature of my N scale layout.

BTW, Stein - thanks for the solstice reminder. Those who suffer from seasonal depression would do well to remember that day

Wayne - re-open the pool? Do you plan on doing a little curling?

Merry Christmas to all of you and my all your wishes come true.
The "big date" for the kids of all age is the xmas eve (24th) here in Germany. That is when the candles on the xmas tree will be inflamed and the gifts are presented and unwrapped. Most families have a tradition to serve at that evening a relative simple dinner (e.g. sausages with potato salad) only to make sure the wife/mother is not buried with work in the kitchen. 25th and 26th are very prominent days to visit relatives and get visits from close relatives. That are the dates when the lunch will run "full throttle" (and the lady stays in the kitchen... until she gets some help ).
We expect to have new heavy snow fall in south Germany starting some time Friday. That might be a problem to visit my brother and his family and to get back by car during the night on Friday xmas eve.

My mom's family are predominantly german descendents, and their traditions are similar to this. The 24th is less formal with one-pot meals and the 25th is more formal.
