IT'S
ALMOST CHRISTMAS AND EVERY YEAR I ADD SOME FUN PICTURES TO
THE
SITE. CHRISTMAS MADE YOU SIT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS REALLY
GOING
ON. AS A KID, YOU HAVE TO THINK, WHAT BRAND OF SLED DID
SANTA
CLAUS DRIVE? WAS HE GOING TO BRING ME WHAT I WANTED?
HOW
DID HE COME AND LEAVE WITHOUT ANYONE HEARING?
WHY
DID I GET BAD GIFTS WHEN MY BROTHERS GOT BETTER ONES. LOL
HERE
ARE SOME PICTURES FROM MY PAST. HAVE A GOOD LAUGH.
HERE
I AM WITH MY 3 BROTHERS. LIKE USUAL, MY OLDEST BROTHER ON THE
LEFT
GOT THE BEST GIFTS. I AM ON THE RIGHT ASKING, DID SANTA BRING A
SNOWMOBILE
THIS WINTER? HERE ARE A FEW CHRISTMAS TREE PICS.
WE
USED TO GO TO MY GRANDPARENTS IN THE LOWER LAURENTIANS OF QUÉBEC
AND
SPEND THE WHOLE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY THERE. WE USED TO GO CUT A
TREE
AND MOST OF THE TIME, THEY WERE CHARLIE BROWN TREES SO WE
DECORATED
THEM WITH AS MUCH TINSEL AND CHRISTMAS BULBS AS WE COULD
GET
ON THE TREE. WE ADDED MANY GARLANDS AND THIS DROVE MY PARENTS
NUTS
BUT WE HAVE THESE GREAT MEMORIES OF THESE TREES AND HAVE A
LAUGH
EVERY YEAR WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PICTURES.
LOL,
YOU'RE A BLOCK HEAD CHARLIE BROWN.
NOT
ALL OF OUR TREES WERE DECORATED TO THE MAX.
MY
GRANDMOTHER HAD HER FAVORITE ORNAMENTS THAT SHE HAD FOR 50 +
YEARS.
EVERY YEAR WE WOULD SEE BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS FROM THE OLD
COUNTRY
THAT THEY DID NOT SELL ANYMORE.
MY
GRANDFATHER ENJOYED SEEING THE TREE AND WAS A FUN MAN TO SPEND
TIME
WITH. HE USED TO TAKE US OUTDOORS AND WAS ALWAYS DOING THINGS
WITH
US. IT WAS A SPECIAL TIME.
MY
GREAT UNCLE MARTIN USED TO COME VISIT US EVERY CHRISTMAS.
HE
WORKED EVERY YEAR FROM APRIL TO NOVEMBER BUILDING THE TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY.
WHEN HE CAME, HE BROUGHT US BAGS OF FRUIT, FOOD AND FUN.
MY
BROTHER REMAINS MY BEST FRIEND AND ALTHOUGH HE SAYS HE DID NOT
DROP
THAT 5 DOLLARS IN THE SNOW THAT MY MOTHER GAVE US AS KIDS, HE
DID
BUY A NEW HOCKEY STICK A FEW DAYS LATER. LOL, JUST KIDDING.
HERE
WE ARE IN JANUARY 1967 ON THE HOCKEY RINK WE BUILT.
WELL,
IF YOU GREW UP IN THE 60'S, SOMETIMES YOU GOT SHIRTS LIKE THIS. LOL
HERE
I AM BY OUR BLACK AND WHITE DUMONT TV AT CHRISTMAS.
WE
GOT 2 STATIONS BUT ONLY IF SOMEONE HELD THE RABBIT EARS. LOL
ONE
OF THE MOST CONFUSING THINGS TO ME WAS WHAT BRAND OF SNOWMOBILE
DID
SANTA CLAUS DRIVE. MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME ARCTIC CAT, SKI DOO
MOTO
SKI, POLARIS, JOHNSON, SCORPION, SNOW CRUISER.
I
JUST DID NOT KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE.
THEN
I REALIZED THAT SANTA DROVE THE BRAND YOU WANTED TO GET.
THIS
IS THE FIRST SLED THAT SANTA BROUGHT ME IN DECEMBER 1969.
A
1970 SKI DOO OLYMPIQUE 335 FOLLOWED OVER THE YEARS BY MANY
OTHER
SLEDS. TOO MANY TO COUNT. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MY SLEDS.
MY
SON AND DAUGHTER GOT POLARIS COLTS.
MY
WIFE GOT THIS 1979 ARCTIC CAT JAG.
WHEN
I HAD KIDS, WE CONTINUED OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS.
THIS
IS OUR HOUSE THIS YEAR. WE HAVE 2 TREES. AFTER CHRISTMAS, WE
KEEP
THE MINI TREE ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS IN JANUARY.
FROM
DECEMBER 11, 2017 TO DECEMBER 25, 2017 - CHRISTMAS DAY, I WILL BE
ADDING
OVER 175 NEW CHRISTMAS ADS OR ARTICLES WITH SNOWMOBILES IN
THEM.
BE SURE TO CHECK DAILY AS THERE ARE SOME FABULOUS ADS THAT I AM
SURE
YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY SEEING. DAVID S
MERRY
CHRISTMAS !!!
