Are These The Von Trapps, Hanging Their Christmas Stockings???????????????

                                      Of course not, because, by the time this pic was taken, the Von Trapps were adults!  This looks more like when I hung stockings on Christmas Eve, back home, when I was a child.  Except I was the only one,  so all the stockings would be mine.

                                        Remember the song, "Jolly Old St. Nicholas?"  It had a lyric that went like this--"All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row./Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know.

                                          As I progressed through childhood, I was clearly unconventional, and put me own spin on things.  I changed that lyric to "Mine will be the biggest one, you'll be sure to  know."

                                          Ha! Ha!  Ha!  I laughed my head off, and I still sing it that way.

                                           I don't recall my parents being amused, or not.

                                           Ah, Christmases past!  I would love to look back on me, like Scrooge did!

                                           But I am no Ebenezer, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           Here are Alvin And The Chipmunks singing "Jolly Old St. Nicholas!

                                           Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
