About Me



I love Christmas. As I look at Christmases past I recall going to my grandparent's house to cut down the tree, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music over the radio, church Christmas programs, and going to my other grandparent's house for Christmas dinner with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Yes, that was a very full house; but it was sure fun. One of the segments that I heard on the radio during this time was called The Customs of Christmas. Those segments inspired me to create a Christmas web site: http://www.customsofchristmas.com . Be sure to visit and visit often as I'm adding to the site every year.

My Interests

Everything Christmas; the Baby in the manger, the lights, the music, the food, the movies, the food, the TV specials, the food, fun with friends and family, the food!

I also enjoy listening to old time radio shows (also known as theater of the mind), reading, collecting baseball cards with my boys, and model railroading.

I'd like to meet:
