That's cool Anna! I have been searching for vintage tin banana signs but they are really hard to find!

Mark, Jesus was Jewish and the day began at sunset (or, as I'm told by a Jewish friend, it is specifically when the 7th star is visible), so Anna was well within a reasonable custom to open up gifts by 10pm. Besides, our family always opened up gifts on Christmas Eve as well!

Merry Christmas!

AnnaJW · 12-25-2007, 03:39 AM

It was awful! The package showed up days ago. He said "you won't believe I got this for you". I was like a kid. Let me open it! LOL!!!

Merry Christmas!

When I was a kid, we always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve. Except for one. Don't know why. But we did. :-)

The way the wind is blowing here right now, we need to tie everything down!

STEELVIPER · 12-25-2007, 03:56 AM

I was just messing with Anna. No worries. The wind is picking up here. Went out to check on my bananas. Tied down the big ones(over 8 feet) rest are in wind protected areas. May see gusts to 65mph here. Better tie down the house!LOL. Anna. you going to do some after x-mas ebay shopping? HAHAHHA!!

AnnaJW · 12-25-2007, 04:05 AM

OMGosh!!!!!! The wind is already blowing so hard that my banana blankets are probably in your yard, Mark. LOL!!!
The windows are shaking!

STEELVIPER · 12-25-2007, 05:05 AM

Ok, i just watched 2 transformers blow!! getting gusts to 60 in my area right now. Bananas are ok. They can take a pounding. so happy that the leaves shred or it would be "timber" time right now.

AnnaJW · 12-25-2007, 05:22 AM

I expect power to go out anytime now. I'm trying to get my banana bread pudding done!

pitangadiego · 12-25-2007, 11:56 PM

Scandanavian countries opened gifts on Christmas Eve (the secular holiday), because Christmas Day was a religious holiday. That is the tradition that I have known my whole life, and parents and grandparents before me.

AnnaJW · 12-26-2007, 01:59 AM

That is interesting! My family background is Polish and German. Maybe that is why we, too, always opened gifts on Christmas Eve?

mskitty38583 · 12-26-2007, 12:48 PM

miss anna, our parents always let us open one present on christmas eve. the rest had to wait till christmas morning. if christmas fell on a sunday we had to wait till we got home from church, and after we had dinner. your present that you got was awsome. he did a great job picking that out. i didnt know they had art like that. my favorite is claud monet( hes my hero).( vincent v.g. is another fav of mine.) when i start painting again (oils) i have a pic of his that is the waterlilies. i want to try and copy it in the oils. waters are great, but oils give more control. im happy you got a really nice piece of art work for christmas. this kind of present shows someone has a good eye for art.
