1) front and center: scarf guy.
2) my dining room table (left), which has about 1 month’s worth of laundry i’ve finally washed and folded. the chair you see has about 7 shirts that need to be ironed. i hate ironing. dry cleaning gift cards warmly welcomed this season.
3) if you look closely through the sliding glass door (center), you’ll see the fake spider webs from a killer halloween party we threw 1.5 months ago. i feel they compliment my tree quite nicely. others feel they should be removed before our christmas bash saturday.
4) another close look in the reflection on the door and you’ll see my new lamp. recognize it? i love lamp.
5) i kinda “lampooned” my tree. it’s barely taller than me but has about 1200 lights. my middle brother is a fireman, i hope he doesn’t see this. he’ll drive three hours just to kick my….

thanks to josh grobin for the reminder that a pop/classical mix can still result in a nice rendition of a holiday song. hope everyone has a safe and warm holiday season!!!

ciao for now,

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it’s been said
Many times, Many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

[musical interlude]

And so I’m offering this simple phrase,

Strings of lights
LED lights
Extension cords

Get started with the first step: If youre using last years lights, check them to make sure they dont have any frayed wires, burned-out bulbs, or cracked sockets. If you are buying lights, figure on 100 lights for every foot of tree. Dont connect more sets than the manufacturer suggests or you might blow a fuse.
