Pacific Northwest Gardening: DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE?, 0 by

I LOVE the TransSiberian Orchestra! You are so right about that music! I also love the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. I think my all time favorite, though, is the Messiah. I used to sing in the Messiah every year and when possible, my dad and I would sing together. In order to be able to sit by him, I would sing the Tenor part. It's a way more interesting part than the women's alto part, so I enjoyed it. When I was a kid, my dad would stand in the living room and 'direct' the orchestra when we played The Messiah on the record player. Those are good memories.

Here is our Christmas tradition, which my kids started several years ago. Most people on the PNW forum have seen this already if they were on Dave's last year. We call this the Christmas Cave.
