Stockings before or after presents? Before.
If you can have one GIFT this year what would it be? Self-actualization.

exercise Today I watched CNN Headline News while I was on the treadmill. There was an interesting story about Platewire. This is a website where you can report bad drivers.

Self-actualization?

My policy is ignorance is bliss. But that's me. I'm a different breed of cat.

Happy exercising!! I am trying to get my elliptical workout in but it is hard during the holiday season.
Got to go do 10 more minutes - the elliptical is calling me.

We actually have FIVE fake christmas trees, varying in size from medium to really small. They were part of a store display at one time, in a retail store where MY WIFE worked.

After the holidays, the store was just going to throw them out, but MY WIFE asked if she could have them. They said "yes", so we have a grove o' Christmas trees every year.

Jennifer - Good luck on your journey. Bad drivers, especially tail-gaters are a pet peeve of mine. Their thoughtless, rude behavior is lethal. they should be off the road.

Suldog - 5 trees! Do you use them all? I was thinking about getting an artificial tree for outside. I may just have to plant a pine tree instead.

Marie: Here are the lyrics:
Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas,
Come this way!

Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas,

Welcome, Welcome
Fah who rah-moose
Welcome, Welcome
Dah who dah-moose
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp

Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas
Bring your cheer
Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome all Who's
Far and near

Welcome Christmas, fah who rah-moose
Welcome Christmas, dah who dah-moose
Christmas day will always be
Just so long as we have we

Fah who for-aze
Dah who dor-aze
Welcome Christmas
Bring your light

(Bridge (about 65 sec))

Welcome Christmas
Fah who rah-moose!
Welcome Christmas
Dah who dah-moose!
Welcome Christmas
While we stand
Heart to heart
And hand in hand

Fah who for-aze
Dah who dor-aze
Welcome welcome
Christmas
Christmas

We love the artificial trees (3!) too. I had a real one once and I'll never do that again...trying to keep the pets from drinking the water was a nightmare!
I even have 9 artificial little trees for outside in the yard...they're pre-lit and look so cute in the yard.
Haven't done the Outlet in years, most of my gifts this year were on the internet. And we love the Grinch too.
