Country Says HO HO HO

[sodpoo]

It's amazing all the stuff we have in common. My Mom is 81 and every year @ Thanksgiving, I put up her tree, then remove it before I leave at Christmas. However, I always have a tree at my own home. Your tree was just great! It's really nice to sit at night and admire the lights!

[angelboku1]

It seems someone has been a busy bee and I missed it!! LOL I've got some video's to catch up on!!

The colored lights are the best!! Your tree was gorgeous!! Happy Holidays! =)

Your ornaments are GREAT!!! I love the mixture and the antique feel about them! Ya did real good Jim!!

[CountryComesToTown]

Thanks Angie! -Jim

Beautiful tree Jim!

Merry Christmas to you!

[CountryComesToTown]

Thanks Sue. A big Merry Christmas to you as well! -Jim

[popparoc46]

Glad you are back Jim. Your tree looks wonderful - beautiful. Those old ornaments are the best. Last week, my sister gave me the last remaining glass ornament from our childhood. I will take care of it!

Oh! You said my name. - roc

[CountryComesToTown]

I did say your name. Was that you that did the video about the pickle last year? Well I gave you credit regardless. LOL -Jim

[popparoc46]

No, it wasn't me, Jim. It was Baybea. Haven't seen her in a while. I am off to say hello to her.

[fehquig]

Hope to see a lot more of you soon, Jim!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Andy. I'm happy to be back and missed you guys! If I disappear again, come on down to Atlanta and find me. LOL -Jim

[fehquig]

You know, we may be able to arrange something in the Atlanta direction sometime next year... I will need to do some research...

[proofisinthepudding]

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey BandwagonBabe. It's great to see you as well. Yes, Mississippi is a different pace. LOL You need to get over in the Delta on those two lane country roads to find the Koolickles. Merry Christmas to you! -Jim

[dl737]

Nice seeing you Jim - after 20 years, you sure did a fantastic tree. Looks beautiful. Congrats too on your YT 2 year anniversary.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season :)

[CountryComesToTown]

Hi Danny. Great to see you as well. Happy Holidays to you my friend. -Jim

[OhCurt]

20 years, WOW!

It looks great - very homey, indeed, Homey.

:-)

The peanut made me think of Jimmy Carter.

The pickle made me think of McDonald's.

***Happy Festivus, Jim***

[CountryComesToTown]

Curt I thought of Jimmy Carter also when I saw that peanut ornament. LOL Good to see you. -Jim

[mysteryglo]

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Joe. I've missed you as well. Happy Holidays to you! -Jim

[whatsnext]

LOL... you slipped this video in on me. Sorry I'm late watching and guess that means I have to do one soon! The only thing the tree is missing is icicles - Those long silver ones!!! Now those take me back to childhood.

I was watching the video and thinking about what to get you for Christmas and thought.. OH SHIT- I ordered a "????" why hasn't it come-- so I checked the front porch and there it was (and had been for a couple of days in the rain) Luckily they packed in plastic! :-)

[CountryComesToTown]

Yep, Ann it's your turn to make a video now! That's too funny about the package sitting in the rain for two days. LOL -Jim

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey there Billy. It's good to be here and to see your smiling face on the front porch. Happy Holidays buddy. -Jim

[sonrisa663]

Merry Christmas Jim! Your tree is nice... very warm and full of Holiday Spirit! You did a fantastic job...love the glass ornaments ...and the Georgia peanut is classic! You should have put one of your Koolickles up there!! HAHA!

By the way....where is your facial hair!?!?!?!

[CountryComesToTown]

Thank you Cynthia. Merry Christmas to you as well. I still have those koolickles. Maybe I should string them up and hand them on the tree. LOL I messed up the goatee and shaved it off for a while but it might come back in January. Good to see you here! -Jim

[LeSaMilano]

nice to see you and your tree!

Merry Christmas to you. :)

Nice tree Jim! :D

(I'm not going to say anything about the lack of facial hair.. *gives dirty look*) :P

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Jim we may have to call you the YouTube magic man. LOL I gouged the goatee and lost it for a while but it'll probably be back after the first. LOL Good to hear from you. -Jim

[Ravensinger]

Hi Jim!! Hope you have a great holiday season. It is kind of nice to have the tree in the house...I love the smell of the fresh trees and it's just not the same without it. Plus it brightens up your mood to come home at night and put it on and then turn the other lights off...love that! Beautiful tree you have with all of those ornaments...you clearly do not have a cat!...hehe Life is busy here...lots and lots of singing.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Mic. Happy Holidays to you guys as well. No I don't have a cat they make me sneeze I'm afraid. LOL I was just thinking about you and your music the other day. Good to hear from you! -Jim

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Sherron. I laughed when I saw the turnip and said I've gotta have that one. There's a little store called Star Provisions and that's where I found the peanut and turnip. Jim

[normspace]

Good to see you back on YT. Nice tree by the way! Merry Christmas!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Norm. You knew I couldn't stay away forever. LOL Merry Christmas to you buddy! Jim

[randomwritings]

There seems to be an international shortage of lame excuses lately so I had best leave a comment rather than use one up by apologising for not leaving one. Good to see you again. Love the peanut!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Brian. It's good to see you again as well my friend. I just had to have that peanut ornament when I spotted it. Jim

[cooksterz]

Hey there Heather. It's good to see you also. Merry Christmas. Jim

[macaronipop]

a pickle?

mike

[CountryComesToTown]

Yeah the pickle is a German tradition I think. The first kid to find the pickle on the tree gets a special gift on Christmas morning. Jim

[macaronipop]

i found the pickle first....what's my special gift?

mike

[CountryComesToTown]

How about a three month old koolickle? LOL

[macaronipop]

only if you eat it on video!

mike

[CountryComesToTown]

NO the winner GETS to eat it. LOL

[macaronipop]

LOL - then I forfeit!

mike

[macaronipop]

nice to see ya - beautiful tree -

mike

[CountryComesToTown]

Thanks Mike. Jim

[MissTruly]

That's a very pretty tree, Jim!  So glad you put one up. I put up a tree for the first time this year, and I'm rather dreading disassembling it, but I'll just do it eventually.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Miss Truly. I'm dreading the dis-assembly part myself. LOL I need to get over and catch up with you. Have you been making lots of Christmas cookies? Merry Christmas. Jim

[StuartGalore]

Awesome tree. LOL, I'd never have the patience to put 175 ornaments on the tree. I barely have enough attention span to put a couple strings of lights on. Merry Christmas!

[CountryComesToTown]

Stuart just imagine having to take them off the tree. LOL Merry Christmas to you buddy. Jim

[silverscreamgrl]

It is good to see you, Jim. You have been missed as well. Your tree is beautiful. The peanut is just too cute! Do you have a Koolickle? hahaha

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Beth. I've been missing my silverscreamgrl fix. It's good to be back. No, I still have those damn koolickles in the fridge. Maybe I'll string them up and hang them on the tree. Hey, a video idea. LOL Good to hear from you Beth. Jim

[jughead22]

[CountryComesToTown]

Thanks Cynthia. Merry Christmas to you as well. Jim

Merry christmas to you and I love your tree. Did you place the screen behind the tree or is it always there ?

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Dolores. Actually it's sitting in my front bay window and those are closed plantation blinds. Jim
