Afternoon all&#33; I&#39;ve been pretty busy so far today with many odds and ends. All things I have to do to clear the decks before the holiday. I spent last night writing out Christmas cards as we won&#39;t return from the Panama Canal until the 10th of December and that would be too late and we send cards to all our corporate clients. All totaled we sent out about 150 cards. Now DH only has to get the stamps. I cleaned out the garage to make room for the Hanukkah/Christmas boxes so that on Friday I can just get all the stuff from the attic. <br />
<br />
Cheryl a 12&#39; tree, YIKES&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I would definately need new ornaments if mine was that big. I only have a 7&#39; one and they laugh at how big it is. I have vaulted celings and the tree still isn&#39;t big enough for me&#33; No decorating yet, just prep work.<br />
<br />
Marylou sounds like your all set for your company and the holiday. I&#39;ll be sure to avoid the mall on weekends&#33; Hope I don&#39;t have too much more shopping to do there. Glad you got the shirt that you loved. I love a sale&#33;<br />
<br />
Jenn, hope that cold shakes loose soon. You&#39;ve had it quite a while already. Have you gone to the Dr.???<br />
<br />
Sue glad you&#39;re getting a few minutes to yourself. Company is great but sometimes it gets so hectic.<br />

Maria, we are also scaling back this year on decorations and my DD is not too thrilled with me. I already told her the village is a no go this year and I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll cut a few more things too. It&#39;s hard when your traveling at this time of year to do everything. I&#39;ll post a picture of our tree when it&#39;s done for sure, that&#39;s a great idea&#33; Our tree is a mix of the kids ornaments and the ones we&#39;ve collected throughout the year. The more stuff on our tree the better&#33; No branch is ever left empty. My kids have mini-trees in there rooms but only DD still puts hers up. She loves her angel. She never took the tree down last year and it was driving me nuts&#33; How awful that someone took the penguin display. I bet Ken enjoyed doing it and it looked great&#33; My mom made a wood Santa and hand painted it and someone took it from in front of our door&#33; I&#39;m sure there is justice for those kind of people. <br />
<br />
Well I&#39;m off to the games and then on to the closet to get my clothes together finally for our cruise&#33; Have a great Sunday&#33;
