Anticipating a trip

It’s me, Nick. Welcome to all of my new friends from Gene’s blog. He is a great artist and all around good guy but don’t tell him I said so. I hope you have been well since our last talk. I am almost ready for the next part of my journey. I heard the big man say that someone has been calling and asking about my friends and me. He is from a place called Alabama and he must come a long way to see us. I think the big man’s wife said is name is Tom. We are all looking forward to his visit.

I have to go now so they can move us into another building. A lot of you seemed to enjoy learning about my friends, so here is another fact. Keep believing. Bye.


In France, Christmas is always called 'Noël. Everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons and real white wax candles. Fir trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night.


Father Christmas is called Père Noël. The Christmas meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine. Not everyone sends Christmas cards.

    Oh, my...how exciting...can't wait to hear why this man, Tom, from Alabama is coming to see all of you!!! (We won't tell Mr. Gene what you said about him, because we don't want him to get a "swelled head", do we?? LOL)

    You are a wonderful storyteller and I love all your Santas. I also love the drawings by all the different aged children.
    Your carvings are marvellous.
    Hope you continue to enjoy your blogging experience.

    I'm enjoying your Chrismas facts. I've been a follower for some time, but for some reason, your posts have not been appearing in my google reader. I will add you to my sidebar list.
