Song of the day:
Oh, Christmas Tree…
Well, I actually did some decorating this weekend - YAY! Three of my trees are done (the small ones) and it is far more festive in here today than it was a few days ago. Thank goodness! I also got my reindeer out and a few other things, including some super cool candles my dad and Frannie got me.
As I was decorating I put this ornament on, a gift from my friend Amy, which may have been my very first Hallmark Christmas ornament. Now it’s one of what I would guess are a couple of hundred, but it always makes me smile when I put it on the tree. It’s from 1994; Amy and I have known each other about six years longer than that. So yeah, it’s cool.
Saturday night, in the midst of a massive rain storm, a few friends and I visited Filoli, which is likely what prompted me to get this decorating done. We had a great time despite the weather. If you haven’t been to Filoli during the holidays I highly recommend it. Most of the evening tickets before Christmas have been sold but you can still find a ticket for early January when the lights will still be on. Check it out!
So all in all, a pretty festive weekend. Now to get the big tree up and decorated…too bad I have to work this week or it would get done tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes…

Hey...not sure what is going on but I guess I am on some new way of replying.
Just to let you know we are under a blizzard warning for 15-25 inches of snow beginning tonight and before I forget...45 mph winds.
Enjoy your rain!
