Surprise for the readers!


I thought I would surprise you all with a photo! After a long last wait by some, here is our Christmas tree. We are very proud of it, being our first tree and all. Just for the record, "A Christmas Story" is the best movie ever! I would give anything for a Red Rider BB gun! Too bad those things couldn't put a hole through a Coke can from point blank. Ahhhh... Merry Christmas to all... I'm pumped about the season.

All it needs is some presents!

There are some - you just can't see them bc the wrapping paper is gold to match the tree!

Do you know what word I really like? Tintinnabulation! How fun is THAT to say?? The bells sounded with their tintinnabulation!!! Sorry, too much Poe.

John, i think you mean sticky chicken, but thats cool!
A great pic, ben. It really does look like it could be in a book.
And kelly, i am so proud of your first tree, it looks radiant. It even puts me in the holiday spirit, and you know that is nearly impossible this early...

actually goat, i meant wild turkey! the original "chicken", the kickin' chicken! Bourbon always brings me holiday cheer. don't ever question me on liquor again. Just make weird tasting cheese and live with it.



--for those of you wondering what I'm talking about with the "cheese" reference, I'm refering to cheese made from goat's milk(an actual goat, not our Goat). Better to kill 2 birds with one stone and answer this now instead of reading 13 comments that say "turner, what are you talking about?"!

MERRY CHRISTMAS MARY!

Turner, i am sorry! i should have known that you knew exactly what you were talking about. I apologize for trying to correct you. I got the cheese comment :). i love goat cheese, i will make, and eat, lots of it. haha.

no worries goat, i was just messing around. i'm glad you got my reference......goat cheese is pretty good, but for some reason I remember it tasting like feta. Am I wrong?

your cousin steve

Well, I would have four stockings- for each of the spoiled-rotten puppies, but my "JOY" stocking holders obviously only had three spots- SO Gwinny and Pip have to share. No babies yet, I'm still too busy taking care of the baby I married :-) Hope your doing well Steve! How's the hair business going? I got mine chopped and straight back in May.
