I just finished photographing the Union County Christmas Parade last Sunday. I'll get them online and share them. My wife works at a Bank and their float won first place. As is normal, my wife gave me the camera and told me to stand on the side of the road and take pictures of the "Pretty Ones." She got her pictures back today. She's not too happy with me...Being a red blooded American male, there are two float pictures and a bunch of the cheerleaders. I told her that her exact words were "Take pictures of the pretty ones." My wife needs a better sense of humor. To make up for it, she made me go to the Mall yesterday and have my picture made with Santa. 35 years old sitting on Santa's knee...You know who's in charge at my house. So, it's almost Christmas time again. I've got a couple of short stories to share with you. They'll be better than my Rudolph thing from last year. I was hoping maybe some of you had some good Christmas memories. Maybe a special dinner your Grandmother made, maybe a funny story from a family Christmas from years past. Maybe a special gift you received. And be sure if you have young ones, stop by: http://www.maynardville.com/santa And send an e-mail to Santa. he replies to each e-mail he receives. Chip
