New Tree

We have been artificial Christmas tree users for many years. We originally made the switch for the safety issues, when our girls were little. We did not want to become one of those stories of house fires involving real trees. We also came to like the savings. This year we bought an new tree, retiring the fifteen year old model. The new one is hinged and pre-lit, saving a lot of time in assembly and decoration! It is a seven and an half foot Spruce. It looks nice and the boys are excited!

Christmas Satisfaction.

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? I had my whole family home, even our daughter who lives in Singapore. It was her first time home for the holidays in seven years! We had lots of fun and played lots of games. And ate too much! Yep, I got what I wanted!

Christmas Weather?

This weekend we had record setting high temperatures in the Houston Area. It was over 80 each day, reaching 83 on Saturday! Even the night time temps were above the normal daytime highs for this time of the year. We are expecting a "cold" front to come through today, dropping the temps all the way to the high 60s. Brr!

Time To Decorate!

This weekend we are going to put out the yard decorations and put up our tree for Christmas. The neighborhood association also puts up arches of lights on each end of each street in the subdivision. We have lots of traffic through the area to see all the lights each year. I hope the price of gasoline does not curtail that fun activity!

Please, No Ties For Christmas

It is Christmas time, and I know it is hard to buy for me, because if I want something I usually go and get it. But this year I determined that when my grandkids ask me what I want for Christmas, I am going to tell them that I have enough ties, but that I do not have enough tie tacks or cufflinks. That should make them happy and I know it will make me happy!
