What a wonderful story and a wonderful way to celebrate the Christmas season!
Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful Christmas story! My father also had a train set that came out every Christmas and was part of our holiday tradition and celebration!
I hope other islanders share their family traditions for celebrating Christmas without having to endure anonymous bloggers slamming them for their "carbon footprint" or for their Christmas spirit which they term "tedious"!
Thanks again! Merry Christmas!!
All the right words get said but the spirit seems lacking. Keep those Christmas lights burning bright!! Merry Christmas!
loscabos, that was a wonderful second post. I wish it was your first post.
In this age of political correctness people are less inclined to openly display their true Christmas spirit. Local governments won't get involved in Christmas celebrations because the ACLU will drag them into court over the separation of church and state. What is left for communities who want to celebrate the season? What options are there? A lot of people think the decorating contest is a fun way to celebrate the season; others find it tacky. But this is not my point. This is a nice Marco Island story and during this time of year when people are at their happiest and hold great hope for the future there are posts that deflate the spirit of the season.
It's Christmas in America; people are free to celebrate Christmas as they wish. Their celebrations should not be open to criticism.
Gee, RayPray, didn't anyone ever hug you when you were a child?
Where is your Christmas Spirit, loscabos?? Try to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
captnjimbo, you are right; it is the people who are wrong here. People must be accountable and responsible for their actions, deeds, and words. But when a site like this is used by people to defame and slander others and they are not held accountable for their words, then it is the procedure that has failed.
Individuals who use this site to demean others are in violation of the User Agreement they have agreed to abide by. It is up to the newspaper to police this site, and as we all know this is not being done. The credibility of this newspaper is at stake as it becomes more of a slander sheet than a viable institution deserving the protection of the First Amendment.
Here we have another comment from Mr. Sensitivity himself, rolomokat. Take a moment and click on his name, and read all his “contributions” to this site. Recently, this individual posted a blatant racist remark that had to be removed by Marco News staff: this was not the first time staff had to remove his posts. rolomokat continuously posts jokes and insulting comments about deceased Marco Island civic leaders, and once posted a joke about an individual who past away while golfing on one of the local courses. And of course he attacks other individuals who post comments on this site, just like he will attack me once his mother reads this to him. Here is yet another individual who has made a conscious decision to post comments on this site that only serve to hurt or bully people, like any spineless ignorant jerk who does this for his own infantile enjoyment. Remember, reading a comment submitted by rolomokat will insult your common sense like a foul and pestilent congregation of odors will insult your nose.

themessiah, anyone who reads your comment could quite easily come away with the impression that you are an example of everything that is wrong with America.
You are absolutely right, u2cane! Too many individuals around the island are wrapped way too tight. Those individuals who choose to practice their twisted form of "highway vigilante" ought to try giving it a rest. People are driving in the left lane before a merge in traffic? Mercy me! Armageddon is here!! So what exactly is the big deal? Is there anyone out there who can rationally explain this phenomenon?
The city is probably doing the couple a favor by banning shell driveways. Once the rainy season starts, potholes will form under the shells and the water run-off will drain material onto the lawn, the sidewalk, and into the street. Over time, shell driveways tend to look awful, and the owners will eventually remove the shells and install something more practical.
Nice work by all!
rolomkat, you have the nerve to say Judge Jolley's daughter should keep her opinion to herself after you express your opinion by calling Judge Jolley a corrupt and devious individual? Have you no shame?
