As we quickly approach Christmas I am sure many of us will be watching the wonderful Christmas Story episode. This brought to mind a few other subtle references to Christmas scattered throughout various episodes of TAGS.

Andy telling Opie and Barney that he had gotten an erector set for Christmas one year when he was a boy. Emma telling Ellie she shouldn't expect her to buy her cotton balls come Christmas time. Andy telling Barney he wasn't Santa Claus on a street corner when he was ringing the dinner bell for Malcolm. Andy telling Aunt Bee a fight at the Darling's started when one of the boys told another one there wasn't a Santa Claus. Aunt Bee telling Opie that they knew he wanted a tool chest for Christmas because he left his composition "What I Would Do If I Had A Tool Chest" out on the table.

I also ran into a snag with my Darling C&D plans. City safety commission is questioning my security plans. I was planning on having Asa being the night watchman as well as my having a mean old bull tied up outside the inn. I didn't want to make a moulage of it but I did submit my plan in writing. Also there is a question of my having upstairs rooms. Seems that they have to be single occupancy rooms. But I think I can get around that by putting a long strong rope under each bed that will be placed by a window. I didn't think I really needed to put that into my written plans.
