We're all still here

We're all still here and by all accounts, yesterday was a fairly uneventful day on a worldwide scale. Around here is another story. We *finally* got the Yule tree up Thursday night. And it's such a sad tree. Skinny, not enough branches... a few years ago we had to replace my wonderful fat fluffy tree and we ended up with a six foot version of the Charlie Brown tree (but somehow lacking in the character or charm that Chuck's had). After last week I'd enough sad, so I went out and bought a new tree. Yes, four days before Christmas, this crazy woman was in K-Mart buying a new holiday tree. And you'd better believe they were all sold out! But...that meant they had to sell the floor model and aw, shucks, the only way I could take it was with all the "display only "ornaments. For eighty bucks (the tree was on sale, down from one fifty), I got a gorgeous six and a half foot tall, fat fluffy tree and at *least* a hundred dollars worth of ornaments, nearly all of them things I would have chosen myself in a heartbeat. It's definitely beginning to look a lot like...


Okay, so I did hold true to my tradition of putting on the Nutcracker for *most* of the decorating, but I couldn't help playing my favorite carols for the rest of it!


Happy, Merry Holidays!

And for those of you awaiting the first installment of Henry and Jason... check back on Christmas Day!
