Special Eve

When I caught sight of this red stone home lost in a recent snowstorm in the city, I could think of no one but Ebenezer Scrooge and that 1843 Dickens' novel. As a matter of fact, I even looked fast to see if that door knocker was present. Over the next few days, I know I'll pick up that book and read a section or two. It's just the sentimental in me.
Enjoy this holiday season; however you celebrate.

ps. Santa, I've been a very good boy this year!

  4. What a stunning entrance! Too jolly to have been Scrooge's--unless, of course, this photo was taken AFTER the ghosts had paid their visits. :-)

  7. “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

  8. I wouldn't be surprised by ghosts of Christmases behind those doors. How Victorian. Well you may have been good this year, maybe, but I think you are still working off sins of previous years.

  10. I might have read that book and seen that play and/or movie so many times I need a break from it this year. Have a merry Christmas with that most tolerant of wives, Birdman.
