Rose, I decided not to brave WalMart and went to King Soopers instead - I knew it wouldn&#39;t be as crowded as all they have is groceries.  Went to Hobby Lobby for the other stuff I needed.  Jackie, not done with the tree yet, but another 2 days and I should be.  The front is done so if you look at it straight on, it looks nice.  I always do finger foods for Christmas Eve and then cook a big dinner Christmas Day.  This year, on the 24th, we are having Lil&#39; Smokies, deviled eggs, big sub sandwiches, breaded &amp; fried ravioli w/ marinara dipping sauce, veggie tray, jalapeno poppers, little quiches, hot wings and chips and dips.  I am always open to trying new things, so if anyone has any suggestions for Jackie, I am listening too.....
