Love the bit about the wifes. Godd post.
my tree's up too!! Hey yesterday was Serbian Christmas or any Christmas of the Orthodox faith. And you know what they say in AA..it's Christmas every day...so we can leave up our trees if we want too! nyah.
Very nice list, Steve.
Steve: Are you and Anna the folks who leave the Christmas tree up until Valentines Day?
Good list!
Great list. I like that you still have your tree up. It must be a happy thing to have around.
Thanks so much for more that I'm grateful for too!!! Opera? FANTASTIC!!!
My grandma used to leave christmas trees up until (sometimes)April just trimming the dry ends weekly and moving the ornaments further and further toward the trunk until the tree was no longer a tree but a trunk. Funny memory! :)
My tree is still up as well - this weekend we are chopping it up and taking it to the inlaws to transport to the cabin and it will be used as fire wood.
I love this list.
