Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I've been lazy this year with my photos and have a computer home-screen filled with tons of photos that I have now tried to cram into my Shutterfly sight and send out to you before Christmas.

I'm not doing x-mas cards again this year as the postage is too much 'ka-ching' for a cheapskate like me. Instead, I've gotten a lotta photos ready for your holiday viewing pleasure.  Yes, YOU!

So...….. Without further ado, or adon't, here are the links to an array of events that have taken place within the last three months.

Now go ahead and have yourself a merry little Christmas
These photos will help to make the season bright
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be mile away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fate allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Chrismas now

Sing along (what kind of sick child has dead dolls?!)

I still have no idea how to work my camera.  The manual is over 300 pages long - seriously.  So that's why many photos look rather bizarre.  But you can click below onto the blue colored highlighted text to bring you to the photo pages:


My Shutterfly home page   - my general site of enough photos to put you into a mental institution if you try to view them all at once.

X-mas Time In Tivoli so colorful and sweet and thank goodness they got rid of that Russian theme they had running 3 years in a row.

X-mas Lunch w/John & Birthe for my birthday, J&B gave me a gift certificate for a Christmas lunch but part of the deal was to invite them - soooooo funny and a clever idea.

X-mas Stroll Through Town I got on a boat and sailed into town and snapped my way home.

X-mas Terminal 3 George wanted me to snap a few pix of the terminal with me in it.  I forgot the me part.  This was with my phone camera which is no good in dark lighting.

X-mas Chior  the Carmen Curlers put on their annual show.  Friends Dan and Jørn are singing in the holiday spirit.

60th B-day Lunch w/Preben  long time buddy and his 3 poochies met us for lunch at neighborhood café

Happy 69th Jens a celebration meal at our favorite classic style Italiano restaurant up the street.

60th and 69th B-day Brunch w/Anne my phone was too slow for excited Anne.  A sweet dear friend who is always happy and loves brunch.

60th B-day Dinner at Tivoli Hotel  John, Birthe, Gitte, Carlo, Jens and I having a b-day dinner at amazing stake house at Tivoli Hotel on the 12th floor overlooking the city,  Birthe, Carlo and I have   a b-day in the same week so we celebrated together.

60th B-day Dinner w/ Lars and Nasko good friends having modern cuisine Italian dinner at a restaurant down the street.  The food was a bit disappointing but I think that has something to do with our friends being too fabulous.  And who knew I could speak Italian? - that's what happens when a someone else takes over your camera.

Halloween In Tivoli pumpkins and goblins in the most colorful way.

60th B-day Brunch on the North Coast  I turned 60 today and cried because my holiday travels didn't turn out to be what I had planned on.  I was to meet my folks at my sister's house in Connecticut but there wasn't any Business class space available on the flights.  So we took a drive north and settled on this little charming village home style restaurant in the forest along the coast.


There is still to come a few vids and text to the photos but I have to get this out NOW before, well you know...……. That fat bastard suddenly comes down your ho ho ho.

Hugs and kisses under the mistletoe to you all.

Alright - it's now the next day.  I got up at 4:20 this morning, ate breakfast, went to work and at 5:50 I found out that I had the day off.  So this gives me time to add the videos here.

The first 3 vids are from a red building built in the 60's.  100% gutted about 5 years ago.  Extended, modernized and covered in glass squares on a 45° angle and the glass squares are framed in colored lights making it possible to "paint" all kinds of graphics on the 2 front sides of the building.   At the moment, the graphics are X-mas themed.  A bit difficult to read from this angel but easy in real life. The text reads: Glædelig Jul (merry x-mas).  But first up, are Christmas hearts.  Danes always use hearts for Christmas.

I'm not big into the rides at Tivoli but I was in the mood to try to capture them on my newish camera.
This first one is special because the cars are American model T's and there is a real live California Redwood tree growing.

The typical Chinesee Dragon double flip roller coaster. 

And this carosel is only here in the non-summer months.

And this hellish freak of a ride which makes me pee my pants just watching it.  

I actually had to go home and change my Under Alls after filming this.

Trying to take a selfie, I yell to my camera to "Take the picture!"  Little did I know I was in video mode.   I must make a mental note to never, ever hold a camera this close to my face - especially under poor lighting conditions and not even a basic layer of foundation . Sheese!

These hearts are loaded with colorful crystals.

The next 3 vids are from the central train station and yes, it is this dark there.

The first melody is from an old black and white film that is in the hearts of most Danes.

It's called Til Julebal I Nisseland. (Going to the Christmas Ball in Elf-land)

Comfort and Joy

Gay apparel

This was the day that Jens and I were sailing to Nyhavn to go have X-mas lunch
with John and Birthe.
Once again I am trying to take a selfie in video mode.

Now scroll back up to the top and check out the links to all of the photos.
Nothing more to read - sorry ;-)
