All medical bills paid off and salvation for the world favorite thing is the spirit Christmas brings and the joy you see and feel. I wish I could give Tommy a new car and my children their own library. My son a jacked up big time bling blinging country looking massive Chevy truck. We don't do Santa Christmas Story and the gifts are about the birthday party part Fave song--the one"knowing your in love with me is the greatest gift of all and Candy Christmas-----O Holy Night Chestnuts roasting on an open fire This was fun Arlies!! Jane

psst....... Don't tell anybody, but we don't do Santa either....my dream Christmas "tree" is to have a large nativity scene (dunno what made of) and we can put presents around Baby Jesus' manger......someday....Tams got one of the nativity scenes from Sam's for her birthday that I COVET!!!!!!! Smoochies Arlies

I'm buying a lock box for my nativity scene by your next visit!!! They have one at Jereome Tank. They are hugh !!! I'm talking around 28-30" a piece. The cow's are bigger than Barkley !!! The set came out of Chicago & cost $850.00 Needless to say.... I'm working on Johnny Tammy

You better buy a heavy, duty STURDY lock box and lock....I may be coming to your town without letting you know.........

Wondering if a large steel gun safe work ?

About Santa--dont' get me wrong. We love Santa. We talk about him, see him, sit in his lap and all the deal. We just don't pretend he brings our gifts. He is fun fun and there is nothing like Santa. We just don't capitalize on him. There are some gorgeous nativity scenes out there. I love the wooden ones for the yards. And especially the live scenes. Later Arlies--Tommy's mom died Sun morning at 4 so we are going through that Tonight and tomorrow at 11. Remember us. thanks. Jane

I am so sorry about Tommy's Mom....I know how hard it is to lose your Mom....But she is safe, healthy and having a blast in Heaven now and wouldn't come back for anything in the world!! You can cling to that! Yeah, I know, we play about Santa, but he never brought our kids gifts and I didn't grow up believing in him, but we cautioned our kids very, very strongly NOT to tell other children he wasn't real.....we stuck by the "Santa is alive in everybody....he is the part of you that wants to give gifts to others.....and Jesus put that feeling in you....but some folks call it Santa...." Yep, we warped them bad!!!!!

Sorry to hear about Tommy's Momma. They are having a Live Drive Thru Nativity at: Broadmoor Baptist Church in Meridian Saturday night from 6:30-8:30. It is right on Hwy 39 North. On the right after you go "over" North Hills St. They even give you free Hot Chocolate. Tammy
