Day Eleven----14 days til Christmas

Holiday window at Lord & Taylor, NYC

Day Ten--15 Days til Christmas

Christmas 1956--my brother, Tom is about 6 months old!

A more formal photo taken in October 1956 ( Tom was born in April) ( me in the middle)--all in our clan plaid (if I remember correctly) outfits made by my Mom

Day Nine---16 Days til Christmas

I have to say I'm having fun looking through my computer & old photo albums to find all these photos!  This is my older sister, Judie visiting with Santa Claus in 1953.  I can only guess that it was at Jordan Marsh or Filenes in Boston.   She passed away 17 years ago this fall and I miss her especially around the holidays.

Day Eight--17 Days til Christmas

A street scene in NYC.  Haven't been in a few years, but it's a fun day--walk around & see all the decorations, the trees and the skaters!

Day Seven--18 days til Christmas

Oops, I forgot to post a photo yesterday so today I will do 2!  This is our one and only cat ( we have had as many as 7 at one time)  His name is Tuck, he is 23 years old and we have had him since he was 5 weeks old! 

Day Six---19 Days til Christmas

My sister & me ( I'm in the dark pjs) in front of the fireplace--don't know why Judie is wearing a lei !  Stocking hung by the chimney with care....

Day Five--20 days til Christmas

These were taken in 1987 ( hence the big hair and glasses!)  One of my first attempts at using the timer on my camera--before digital so I couldn't see that I was chopping heads off!  Taken in our brand new solar room!

Another one from the same time--Tom twirling my Dad's mustache & leaning on Judie!  Alan more in the photo ( and for those of you that know him--no mustache!)
