Super cool shots, keep them coming. I have a drone that I have yet to fly, not licensed yet. Funny thing is, I flew commercially for quite a few years (small twin engine charters and freight runs) and owned my own single engine Cessna 172. But I can’t “legally fly my drone haha.
I think I gave some stills of our town and the river valley, I’ll see if I can find them.

Hi Tobias and welcome to the MLT Club! I’m still a newbie here too and I reside in the frozen wastes of Alberta (OK its not really a wasteland) and its not -40 anymore but it’s still cold. Merry Christmas to you and have fun with this wonderful place.

Merry Christmas Jacki! Yesterday was the best Christmas gift ever! Such a fun couple hours with laughs, giggles and even some loving tears of joy mixed in. I can’t remember the last time I felt the spirit of Christmas stronger than that.

This will be my first “Live Stream” so it will be interesting to see if I can manage the telecast from my end. I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree with new things sometimes.
But regardless, in Irish Gaelic (I noticed this one wasn’t on your list):
Nollaig shona dhuit!

C’ead mille failte (Irish Gaelic welcome) Walter! There truly is no nicer place to be.

Welcome to the Club Dennis!

Not a lot of Christmas movies that I don’t care for, but I don’t re-watch many of them either. Seems that the networks and streaming feeds start with them too early for my tastes, but they must get praise because they are everywhere. That’s just me

Welcome Phil! This is a pretty cool place.

Always puts a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. The happiness in their young eyes and the obvious love in their lives shines like stars in the winter night sky. Magic and the wonder of youth.

The pageant was supposed to be “Christmas Around the World” so we sang songs in many different languages (just the songs), other than a minimal required bit of French, we didn’t actually learn any other languages in school back then.
I spoke French at a very young age due to my maternal Grandmother being Parisian French, but she passed when I was only 8 so until high school I never kept it up. I am far from fluent any longer, but I can understand it well enough to get by in French speaking locations and I can still read it fairly well.
I do understand and speak some Japanese, kind of enough to get embarrassed in Japan when I was there. It kind of goes hand in hand with me being a karate practitioner/instructor. But I cannot read the kanji or any of the three forms of the written language at all. It is very difficult, at least for me. I always thought I would like to learn Japanese calligraphy but with no instructor available locally I didn’t get very far with it.

When I was a young lad in school, we learned “Oh Tannanbaum” for a school pageant. I have sadly forgotten most of the words over time. I was just thinking of it yesterday and came across this thread when I logged in. We had a German family that moved into town the previous summer so one of the girls helped us with the lyrics. I’m sure we still butchered some of the pronunciations but we got it done.

I actually put in my exact address and it chose a different set of coordinates…I tried a couple times to reverse it but it kept doing the same thing. I even tried the closest major town (I live on an acreage) and same thing. No biggie really.

Hey back Charles. Yep, Texas is big alright. I love DFW, spent some time there in 2019 just pre-pandemic, both business and pleasure. I’m not a city boy, but visits to places like DFW and Austin (music Meca and superb motorcycle racing) are highlights for me. I plan on getting back your way to meet up with some of my Lone Star State m/c pals as soon as I can. Never know what can happen.

I admit I did take some videos at the last two shows I was at. But in my defense, I don’t think I had my phone in anybody’s face during the process. With the seating in these new arenas the way it is, you are typically way below anyone behind you, and well above those in the row in front. And I have to say that the flashlight app is certainly much better than a Bic lighter for enticing an encore. Which typically, are given away at rock concerts like candy on Halloween, but we seem to have the need to show the performers that we want them to not stop playing.
So, having said that, I might just have the last live footage of Henley singing “Desperado” at Rogers’ Place…
