I apologize for the poor photos. Funkytown is gloomy, though we did get some white stuff for Christmas. They say "the sun'll come out tomorrow, tomorrow," but we shall see.
My new Christmas hat. I saw this at the local vintage shop awhile back, but held off because it was a little pricey and a 7 1/8. But then I thought about it, and went back, but they were closed for several days (turns out the guy running it was self-quarantining out of caution). Then, a Christmas miracle!
Because I had purchased some gift cards earlier this year to support my local businesses, the Downtown Dayton Partnership gave me a complimentary $15 gift card. Not to look askance at such a sign from the hat gods, the store was open when I next went by.

Mid- to late-50s 3X Suede Finish. Very deep dark brown with self-felted ribbon. Very pettable and creases if you look at it sternly.
Thanks, Santa, and Merry Christmas everybody!
No hat today, but I too wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas.
My daughter was unable to join us for Christmas this year do to Covid, but shared this photo of her first Christmas in 1995:

Thanks for that, I will make contact in the new year. For Christmas day I chose another of Esther's hats to top off my new shirt, courtesy of Santa, via Tina's sewing cabin. She made the baggy trousers too.Thank you! 513.721.9345. Tell Mr. Miller, "Bone felt with a copper ribbon.". Tell him I sent you.

Jim, how in the world could you walk away from that one?
We've all been there though, and thank our lucky hat stars that the one we walked away from is still there.
Congrats on the luck and a very merry Christmas to you and yours

It's been strange to spend Christmas with just the two of us, had lots of text messages though and Tina prepared a wonderful Christmas meal. We had lamb ribs, prepared and presented by the butcher, as a guard of honour.

We hope that you have all had a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
Cool cap, looks like a great hunk ofView attachment 294910 View attachment 294912 View attachment 294913 Hannah Hats cap got its head time today.
Seemed like a good point for me to wrap it up... though I could have gone on much longer. But far be it for me to be the arbiter of when to wear stingies or not.Joe, please don't tell me the stingy series is over. It's been truly inspirational. I've sported short brims that haven't had the head time they've so deserved.
I said to Randy, lets make 2021 the year of the Bowler, I think we should make the stingy part of the deal.
A very merry Christmas to you and your family, FL friend.
