I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day.We did.There were no yard sales,but the stores had alot.Friday and Saturday,my wife,daughter and I,gathered up a few of those sales.I am putting two sites of the week,on the bottom of this post.The first is a link to a radio station here,that plays nothing but Christmas music until Christmas.After that they play oldies.This is my favforite station.The other is a page of Christmas music.When you open the page up,Brenda Lee is singing "A Marshmallow World".I'm a big Brenda Lee fan.I have 29 of her albums.My wife and I went to her Christmas show,here last December.Thanks for stopping by.Come again and have a great week.Don
