Do you hear what I hear . . . the sounds of Christmas Movies being played on 107.1 FM


That's right people, we now have sound for our projected movies AND when we are not doing movies we are playing John and Bobbie's own mix of Christmas Jams. So anytime you roll by Strathmore Ave, keep the dial locked on 107.1 FM.

Home Depot Trip and John is Santa

Big shopping day had in the morning--2nd year in a row we got our tree from Home Depot. We also loaded up on tons of supplies for outdoor decorating! Saturday was also the annual Santa Bar Crawl, where over 100 Santas take over the streets of Baltimore.

Here is the Grand Idea for Our first Christmas in Lauraville:

Thanks to Pat O'Connell for letting us use his projector.

Now, it has been asked “John, What will you do about sound?” What I have planned is to purchase this FM Transmitter:















What that will allow me to do is put the sound on an FM station, so people can hear it in their cars. I will be putting up a sign letting people know what station to tune to - AND when we are not doing movies, I am hooking it up to itunes with a Christmas playlist and recordings of John and Bobbie's own season greetings. Our own Christmas radio station!

Christmas Debate

Colored Lights vs. White Lights--I wonder how many couples have dealt with this looming question....last year we settled with white lights b/c partially that's all we had and beyond a tree and mantle nothing else to light up. However, with the new house this year it has been quite a discussion. I have grown up with only white lights and rather conservative outdoor decorating--however John has his heart set on colored lights in full effect outside. In the end we decided on keeping it white lights inside and colored lights outside. I'm still not completely sold on the idea, but I'm just going to wait and see when we decorate this weekend!
