Countdown To Christmas!!

[Marc Chevalier]

Gee... it looks like I'll have to look for a much older vintage wardrobe then.

Don't wait too long. In a year, goatskins will be back in fashion here.

Good idea. I don't think I want to be there for that and most especially when fig leaves come back.

"Ever Backward"

The new Fedora Lounge motto, in Latin: "Semper Cedentia Retro".
(I got this from Google Translator. If there are any actual Latin scholars out there who can verify this, please do.)
This makes me think we should have a Fedora Lounge coat of arms. I think that makes a fine motto across the bottom. Thanks for the thought, Marc.

That's outstanding, dhermann! Love it! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Well done dhermann!

Harold Lloyd and his Christmas tree. According to his granddaughter Suzanne Lloyd, with each passing year it became so elaborate with over 5,000 decorations that it eventually became a permanent fixture all year round in the Lloyd home.

Oh that puts my tree to shame. I don't think I've ever used all my ornaments at once, I have so many. But this gives me good reason to convince my husband that I still have a long ways to go before he thinks I have *too* many. lol

Looks like the population of a small country could fit under it and never be noticed.

Likely it'll be the same crappy year as they've all been. I've decided, as far as possible, just to skip Christmas this year. Bah humbug.

Don't be down, Rue! Sometimes you have to work a lil' harder to find Christmas joy. And sure, there are reasons to not like the season, but other people's opinions don't change mine. Half a streetcarload of Scrooges won't stop me from playing "Jingle Bells" accompaniment on the trolley gong!

Hm, thinking of that, I have an odd example of how very much I love rail preservationist holiday events. Operating vintage transit vehicles for excited little children makes Christmas joy so very easy to find! I went to last weekend's events at my "home" museum at Rockhill Furnace, PA, I'll be there this weekend, and just today wrote out a membership application to the Baltimore Streetcar Museum. A fellow operator offered to carpool there for one more weekend of holiday joy and tinsel-laden trolleys, so how could I resist?

See you on the Santa Line Streetcars!
