My grandmother, a wonderful musician, used to accompany Burl Ives in Terre Haute, Indiana long ago when he first started out. That community choir was delightful! Merry Christmas, Salem!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

I love your videos they make me smile and your garden state looks a lot like our praires in Canada.The grande old houses with the big porches are beautiful too bad they dont put big porches on new homes.I was amazed by the turn of century B and B such a beautiful place.Thanks for sharing the choir with me and a very merry Christmas on this our saviors birthday. Much love to Salem.

[@dianajemison105]

Well, you certainly looked dapper in your hat and jacket! Those lovely houses are so big. I'm in Houston and the big houses are really only in the more wealthy areas. But where you are is much older so the houses would be bigger, I guess. I would love to have one of those big old homes! I'm the same age as you and my mother sang in a choir for as long as I can remember. She recently had to stop due to dementia. She just couldn't keep up anymore. Thanks for the ride-a-long and all the sights and sounds.

[@kimmyjeans2]

What a fabulous day visiting family and thrifting great store . And that bed and breakfast, wow how beautiful! And time with your mom. Omg perfection🥰 and thanks so much for history and reflection of going price on that glass ware dining set .its pretty shocking how much it is selling for. Good info to know

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

We spent a good deal of time in that particular house (now a bed and breakfast) because my mother grew up just a few houses down the street. She has fond memories of the 1950's when she would visit the "old couple" who lived there at the time. She particularly remembers the large open fireplace in the kitchen and being served hot chocolate when walking home from school. The house has new owners now and it was turned into a bed and breakfast several years ago. The couple who own in now have restored it beautifully and it looks much as it did in the early 18th century.

[@kimmyjeans2]

And loved your Jib jab lol. God bless all of you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Your friend Cheryl 💖⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄🌹

[@ironhorse1096]

Thank you for this hometown excursion down memory lane. The houses, the food, the shopping, the Christmas music and your mom. And your striking black cat smack dab in the middle of all the fly away sparkly prettys! May I suggest giving your kitty a Christmas feast? We have a black beauty too named Coaly. And since letting her eat her dish of choice, she looks and feels like a winter hand muff of chinchilla!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Great idea!!!!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

I must say you wear a jacket and tie very well !!! The footage of the passing landscape reminds me of driving through Illinois in the backseat just watching out the window as the trees and houses passed by. And if my mother was on a stage singing carols I’d be the proudest person in the place. Now.. about the woeful ceramic angel figures....😂

[@tennesseegrannydebbie3384]

Great!!!!! In So Many ways!!!!! I needed a break, so I made a cup of coffee and here you are!!!! A rode trip, a history lesson, a home tour, Christmas Music, family, friends, THRIFTING and a meal, all in one short period of time!!! I cried a bit, but I smiled a bit too🎄🤶🎅👵💖🦋 Thank you

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Awe, potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane), my Mom made the very best. Those look like snow clouds, at least that is what we called them when I was a kid. PS has some beautiful landscape. That yellow and brown Tudor home was just gorgeous. Very cool showing the doctor that delivered you. What a nice spin on things, the child going to see their parent preform, love it. Hugs, Joanne

[@bankerguy66]

Salem is so cute! Typical cat, inspecting.😎 Happy Holidays!

[@kimmathews2957]

Your home town, has some great Old Homes, Scott Merry Christmas to you & Salem 🎄🎄

[@janicewalker9719]

I loved the hometown visit. I too was born in what used to be a small town. The hospital I was born in looked like a small brick house from the 60s. It was tiny. I was the only baby in the hospital. And, the doctor that delivered me later became an oral surgeon and he was also the doctor that removed my wisdom teeth. I miss small town life...sometimes. Also, I have to admit, I laughed out loud at the figurine in the short pants and red shoes. I guess he was on vacation when the star appeared. 🤪

[@louiseasmith1336]

Awwwww. The Supervisor!

[@CathyMiller0711]

Fun video! Loved seeing your old hometown. Those angels and the dude in short pants and red slippers were hilarious. Merry Christmas!

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

My favorite parts were the times spent with mom. Cherish those times.

[@southernhippie9058]

Those little Angel carolers look as if they had too much Christmas pudding to eat and have a stomach ache. Good thing I was not at that thrift shop in person. It would have definitely put a dent in my wallet buying items for personal use. Loved the scenic drive, I really miss living up north this time of year.

[@mollyk.4031]

Thanks for the tour of your hometown. It looks very much like mine. And you're right, New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason. I hope your buddy Salem approved of all the Christmas decor. BTW, you're lookin' rather natty in the cap and jacket.

[@sevenbells96]

Hello a very beautiful video. It brought back joy when I attended my sons Christmas musicals at their schools. The home tour was very nice. I could magine seeing the forefathers gather around the fire place.

[@lindakelly6444]

Love the video. Your hometown is a lovely place with beautiful homes. Thanks for the tour. I like the outfit you wore to lunch 👍😁🎄🎅🤶🎁💕

Oh yes Kath I'm sure. We are spoiled here on the east coast with lovely OLD home towns. Thanks for watching.

[@kathb1206]

We surely are. I live in Texas now and there is a lot of history here but nothing like I grew up with and was used to on the east coast. Salem is looking wonderful and made the perfect center piece lol

[@rickeydonald4756]

Food and friendship is what life is all about! Travel is the best cleansing for a closed mind. Enjoy the hospitality of others. Learn something new. Meet someone who walks in a different set of shoes. Peace & Love to all! We are all blessed to have one another!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

You are so so correct about meeting someone who walks in a different pair of shoes. So often we are so blinded by our own limited experiences and that leads to fear and suspicion of "others". I appreciate your comment.

[@rosamerla1534]

Ever since I was a child I wanted to live in house like these beautiful ones. I wanted to have a bedroom in the attic. Now I wouldn’t be able to walk up the stairs. I can still dream right. I have never seen snow!!!

This video checked all the boxes. The scenery is beautiful. I'm from and live in SW Ohio just NW of Cincinnati, we are rural. There are areas of my city that mirror main Street in your hometown and countryside as well. Lovely and thank you Scott!!❤

[@judibess6173]

Thanks again, as always, for taking us along! Especially meaningful to me as I grew up in one of those small NJ towns up in Bergen but have not been back in over 30 yrs. Those colonials were so beautiful. Your amazing mom is a soprano? Good for her, lovely music. TFS!!! Merry, Merry! 🎄

[@katherinehunter5789]

It was fun seeing your birthplace. A private house, not a hospital.I would think that was unusual for the time period in which you were born. Merry Christmas.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Yes funny I know to be born in 1967 in an old building like that. It was the home of the doctor back then and I think still in his family.

Your dress is soooo?.. well? I just love it..lol..reminds me of a gentleman sitting in a old enchanted Library, in a Grand house, the smell of old books, the hint of old leather, aged Mahogany, Oak and Cedar..musty carpets and dusty furnishings, old fireplaces and lingering cigar smoke.. Nothing smells better than a old enchanted library.... I like this video, its nice to see places and traditions from history that we don't get to see in other parts of the country, because they are not as old, And can claim Victorian era status, but not Colonial, as where you are.. but?..it made me miss my little Queen Anne farmhouse in Colorado, I can't wait until this current stay here in St. Louis is over.. Merry Christmas Scott.

Hi Scott! Merry Christmas to you and yours! I enjoyed the tour of your home town, the glimpse of the Old Homes Tour and the Community Choir. I love home tours, and one of my favorite things to do is tour the Homes in the Fan District of Richmond, Va. I also love to visit the Jefferson Hotel there at Christmas time. Seeing Salem approving the Christmas decorations was especially nice. He's a good boy! (Santa, did you hear that?)

Just as I was thinking “what the..?” your comment popped up. And your sweet mom “with the white hair”...you crack me up!! Great place to grow up!! It was beautiful there. Also....you could have put the baby Jesus back with the nativity next shelf over....just sayin’😉

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Actually....there was no nativity set for him he was out all alone. The set you saw on the next shelf was much larger and that baby Jesus and a completely different set.

[@mamiebobb4173]

Great video! Your hometown is so gorgeous. It looks like one of those Christmas Villages that people collect had a fairy godmother wave her wand over it and it grew up into a full sized village! You're so lucky to have such a beautiful place to come home to, not to mention having your mom still there to welcome you. The town I was born in has completely disappeared due to massive redevelopment. I grew up in a colonial village in Northern Virginia that is currently in the process of having the same thing done to it. (Anybody remember Arthur Godfrey? He used to have a big farm in Leesburg, VA and before he got his own plane, he used to fly back and forth to New York, LA, etc, via the old National Airport. He would then drive to and from the airport via our town. On his radio show he would always talk about beautiful Falls Church - the 'most charming village in Virginia'. It would break his heart to see it today!) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this trip home with you. And how happy I am that Salem decided NOT to sit down on that wreath. Pine needles can be awfully painful on tender under bits.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh yes I love the old Arthur Godfrey radio show. Sad to hear so much of the old town is gone.
