October Recycling Project

When I worked in radio, I used to have file folders for each month of the year. I also had folders labeled with the major holidays and seasons. In those folders were jokes, topics, contests, and such that I would recycle every year. I went back and looked at some of my early blogs and for new readers, I thought I’d post links to them for you to revisit.

Do you have a “must see” Halloween movie? Here is a good list:

Halloween brings loads of treats! However, all kids know what candy needs to be pitched in the trash after going through their haul …

It is a wonder more kids weren’t hurt in the 70’s and 80’s because of the way costumes were made.

Spooky audio productions? Yeah, I wrote about some …

I love Autumn in Michigan, and shared some personal highlights from the October of 2020.

Rob Zombie just did a Munsters prequel (which sucked from what I heard). In the 60’s monsters and spooky families were a huge hit on TV.

When Covid was causing issues everywhere, we were still able to have a fun fall weekend…

I’m looking forward to the Fall colors and hopefully at least one bonfire before a snowfall…

Christmas “Recycling” Project

It’s hard to believe that next month, this blog will celebrate it’s fourth “birthday!” As we enter the month of December, I am filled with nostalgia. My thoughts turn to Christmas and the many wonderful memories I have of past December days. In over 500 blogs, the subject of Christmas has come up more than once.

When I worked in radio, I had folders where I stashed bits and jokes that I could recycle or reuse the following year. In a sense, that is what I am doing with this blog. Recently, I have received many new followers who may have missed these the first time they were published. So here is a “Best of” blog with links to some of my favorite Christmas themed blogs.

A Christmas Carol

Scrooge and Mrs. Kellogg

Christmas Character Rankings

Who sits at the top of my list of Favorite Holiday Special Characters? He’s a chilly guy …

A Letter to Old St. Nick

One of my most powerful blogs. I still am moved by what I wrote.

Christmas Eve at Grandma’s

I have SO many wonderful memories of Christmas Eve! I miss my grandparents so much!

Christmas Tree in Pictures

In looking through pictures, there are so many with trees from over the years …

The Miser Brothers!

One of the blogs I wrote that always gets a lot of views this time of year is one I wrote on my favorite Christmas special…

A Major Award!

For the same blog-a-thon I wrote about Ralphie and his old man!

Holiday Alphabet

This blog would be a little different if I wrote it today …

Everyone knows the ONE Chipmunk song they always play, but I feature a different one here…

Last Christmas was a First Christmas

Last year’s Christmas memories. Ella’s first Christmas!

Some blogger friends are participating in “Blogmas” which features a different Christmas themed blog daily all month long. I’m not sure I could do that, but it was heartwarming for me to go back and reread these and I hope you enjoy them, too!
