How the Long Grove Christmas has come and gone is beyond me.  The balmy temps, light drizzle and sparklers made this holiday weekend feel more like the 4th of July than Christmas. 

Somehow all the kids and grown-up kids who gather at GG and Papa's can figure out a way to make Christmas happen anytime of the year.

My pictures aren't great.  But again, 'tis the season!  I think you'll get the idea.

It is what it is!
