| That's (L to R) Me, daughter Merit, and Marie. Chance was off canoodling with his girlfriend. That's a luminaria to the right of Marie. Hundreds, thousands of those are everywhere! Such a beautiful tradition! |

| Chance strums his new ukelele! |

| Merit and her only "non-tech" gift! |
Merit's all about photography these days, so Photoshop was in her pile, as well as a new digital camera!
Chance is writing songs these days and is becoming quite adept with - are you ready for this - a ukelele!
I've been doing my family's Holiday cards (and mine before that) for over thirty years but for the past few years my talented kids have joined in the process!
Merit, my thirteen-year-old computer genius daughter, decided to run the show this year. At our first snowfall in December, she instructed me to take a picture of our buddha. She put it through mysterious and wonderful processes on her computer, then asked me to ink the result. And below is the finished product! Hope you enjoy it!

All my love and respect...

Next up: the making of Wild and Willey: "Jackson" LIVE in Jackson!
Thanks for sharing this with your fans! Some day, I hope to attend one of your events...look for the crazy college professor who remembers you as one of the Joe Novaks on Ryan's Hope.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful celebration. You are SOOOOO fortunate to have a white Christmas since we are so much further North up here in Canada and NO snow. I am jealous. However, I like the safety factor for those who have mobility problems (my son Nathan has MS and did not miss the snow at all). I wish you and yours a Happy New Year and I hope I get to see a live show of yours sometime - I remember the first time you arrived in Pine Valley! I watched since the first year and am so disappointed that after a long day at work I cannot sit for 45 minutes and relax while Pine Valley transports me away from the outside world! Please come back! What is the closest city you will be doing a show in - I am in Ridgetown ON Canada. About an hour from Detroit - 3 from Toronto? Caesar's Windsor would be perfect for me! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHow did your kids get so big?! Oh my goodness! Merry Christmas<3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your family and holiday. I just love you Walt Willey! I miss All My Children so much, it still stings to think or talk about it! Nice that you had a white Christmas, I didn't and I live in Chicago! I hope to see you this year, if you come to Chicago vicinity for an appearance. I'll keep checking your upcoming dates. This is a year of change for a lot of us, and I for one am going to do things I've been wanting to do and have not. One of those things is to try and see my AMC favs! Love ya! (just a fan)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of you to share! Happy holidays to you and your family. I miss AMC and seeing you and Erica. I'm sure good things will be coming your way in 2012. Good luck and Happy New Year Walt. Thanks for sharing a portion of your holiday with your fans!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a part of your personal life with your fans. It is a real priviledge to see into your life. God bless you. Many of us really miss seeing you everyday on All My Children. All the best to you and your family on this blessed holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Christmas traditions Walt. I watched All My Children for 42 years and still miss it everyday. Happy trails wherever your path may lead!
