The Drenching Eve Of Christmas And Hanukkah Will Recover In Time For A Day Of Celebration

by

It appears that Mother Nature must have left the spigot running before taking off for Wednesday’s holiday. With North Texas streets looking like the canals of Venice within a matter of minutes this afternoon, traffic was stymied. Pity the last-minute shoppers trying to score the perfect gift as retailers were closing early tonight. The good news is that the rains will taper … [Read more...] about The Drenching Eve Of Christmas And Hanukkah Will Recover In Time For A Day Of Celebration

The clock just struck midnight and Christmas Day has begun. If you're still up, you might want to turn off your fireplace. We just heard from Claus Headquarters that Santa cellphoned in saying that his boots got singed as he shimmied down one fireplace that was aglow. Oh, and don't forget to leave out the cookies and milk for Kris Kringle. He needs a sugar high, don't you … [Read more...] about MySweetMusic For Christmas 2016 – Part 3

The old boy has been on a diet, so squeezing down the chimneys might not be the challenge it was in the … [Read more...] about MySweetMusic For Christmas 2016 – Part 1
