| 3188 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh, and I meant to mention that Tom Wopat and John Schneider did a Christmas album together too. I keep hearing songs from that album on SiriusXM Holiday Traditions (Ch. 18). | Dec 12, 2015 |  | |
| 3189 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great memory to share V. Thanks for that. It warms the heart! We do indeed make sure to take part on "Angel" Tree giving during this season. Sometimes it's as simple as a tag on one at the local grocer. Other times, it's church that is handling the exchange. Never have I heard of actually inviting the recipient to dinner at home. That is extremely generous, and that individual is truly a kind soul. I hope that one day you're able to find that family, and offer thanks to them. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3203 | Article | Vaporman87 | @vkimo: You'll get to see his work up close if you order a Christmas Goodie Pack. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3207 | Article | Vaporman87 | I am reminded of a similar tale from our very own fuschnikt from last year, 1990 - The Year Santa Died. I enjoy these stories of that final year that we actually believed. And, instead of feeling a tremendous sense of disappointment, we instead come to appreciate the efforts of the "real" Santas. Here, it seems it took little more than a sticker to "open your eyes". I'm guessing you already had your suspicions before that moment, being so easily swayed. Would that be an accurate assumption? | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3208 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's a cliché, but an accurate one - "You don't know what you have, until it's gone." This hits very close to home for me. My relationship with my mom after my parents divorced was strained. There were a lot of things at play there, but it amounted to feeling unappreciated. So, by the time I became a parent, that relationship was almost non-existent. My wife actually convinced me to make things better, putting aside the past and forging ahead. So going to visit her with my wife and kids was an awkward and nervous affair. I was always glad to be leaving more so than anything else. Now that she is gone, I feel like I would give most anything for one more of those awkward Christmas visits. | Bah Humbug! | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3212 | Article | Vaporman87 | Indeed. My parents eventually became friendlier to each other as well. By the time mom was in the late stages of her cancer, they had all but forgotten the "bad old days". It was very difficult to deliver the message from my father to my mother that he was sorry for the way things turned out for them. He wanted her to know it before she left this old world. If nothing else, Christmas is a reminder to me to let everyone I care about know my appreciation for them. Even if it's awkward or uncomfortable. | Bah Humbug! | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3225 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's easy to forget traditions that are gone. Once they are replaced by new ones, the old ones seem to get obscured by the passing years. After reading this, I tried to recall some traditions of Christmases past that are now gone. To my surprise, there are a lot of them. From the get-togethers at my grandparent's houses, to even the get-togethers (in more recent years) at my dad's and also my mom's house. We no longer do any of those things. My grandparents and my mom are no longer with us. My dad, getting divorced now for the second time, lives alone. No more family gatherings there. Those are just the big ones. There are so many more small traditions that are no more. All replaced by new ones that I and my own little family participate in. I hope these new traditions last for as long as my children want them to. I must always be keenly aware of what little things may mean a lot to them during the holidays. Thanks fuschnikt. | Christmas Memories: Traditions Come and Gone | Dec 15, 2015 | |
| 3226 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ha! This is so awesome. So these people really set this up in their house and you could tour it? I want to do that!!! The T-Rex Angry Santa and freaky-deaky tiny pants elf are worth the price of admission alone. Those characters should be somehow enshrined by your old home town. Make it so. Can't wait to see what other strange and unsettling things were holed up in this house of Christmas horrors. LOL | Retro Christmas Wonderland Part 1 | Dec 15, 2015 | |
| 3232 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was never a fan of the AoStH series, as it was far cornier than the other Sonic cartoon series. My favorite American produced Sonic program was the Sonic The Hedgehog series with Sally and the Freedom Fighters. That one had Gary Chalk playing Robotnik (he later played Man-At-Arms in the 200X MOTU series). But the best Sonic program produced by any country was the Japanese "Sonic X" show. | Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic Christmas Blast | Dec 21, 2015 | |
| 3233 | Article | Vaporman87 | Those people should be brought up on charges of Teddy Bear cruelty... making him sit alone on an endless train ride. Clearly they have no soul. | Retro Christmas Wonderland Part 2 | Dec 21, 2015 | |
