Some part of me expects to find the landscape covered in snow on December 24rd. It’s hard to listen to Dean Martin on the radio singing “Let it Snow” or Johnny Mathis doing “Sleigh Ride” when it was 50 degrees and sunny yesterday. I didn’t grow up on “Christmas in Dixie”. The little kid in me wakes up and won’t go to sleep during the holidays. I rent all the classics at the video store. My daughter and her boyfriend invited me to go with them to see “A Christmas Story” on the big screen at a new theater in town. It’s still a thrill to bring home and trim a Christmas tree. Family and friends will gather this evening to spend time together in the best spirit of the holiday. It’s from this place I want to extend my best wishes to all of you for a Merry Christmas!
Over the past year I’ve watched the number of visitors to Scooter in the Sticks grow and I am grateful for the network of riders who share their experience where and on their own sites. It’s been a positive experience, a gift from all of you who read and post here. Thank you!
It’s Christmas Eve and the Vespa is sitting quietly in the garage after carrying me yesterday on last minute errands before Santa arrives. Other than a brisk wind the riding conditions were perfect. I stopped along the Linden Hall road to make a photograph of the rural area I enjoy riding through.
Again, I wish all of you the best for you and your families.
Merry Christmas!
I love the picture in picture card!
Merry Merry and Peace
Merry Christmas back at you Obi-Wan!
Thanks Steve! Merry Christmas to you too! I have very much enjoyed your blog this holiday season. Loved the last few entries with Holiday Vespa pictures! Being a Californian, I can’t imagine how cold it really is back there, but the pics have really gotten me into the spirit of the season!
Steve, Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I love the photo of the vespa from the rear with the tree on the rack. Its wider than the scooter is long. One can only hope you whacked a few christmas hotties on the bottom as you passed by. – Mr. Ruby State College Pa
