Hey guys.  Thought we were going to have a quiet day, just relaxing but ended up running a lot of errands and then going to look for a new Christmas tree.  The one I have is 10&#39; and I found one yesterday I really liked that was 12&#39; and it was on sale, but I still didn&#39;t want to spend &#036;600, so thought I would use the old one another year and then maybe get a new one after the holidays when they are cheaper.  Greg said he would rather I just go ahead and get the one I want now, so he doesn&#39;t have to drag the other one up from the basement so we went to look at it and he was apprehensive.  He said that I would have to stand on an extension ladder to decorate it and he didn&#39;t like that idea.  It is in 5 sections and is pre-lit so at least I don&#39;t have to mess with lights.  Anyway, I told him that I could decorate the top section and put the angel on top and then he and Chris could put it in place atop the rest of the tree.  He said that might work, so we bought it - glad we took the truck because it came in 2 big boxes.  Anyway, I have been working this evening on getting the top part decorated.  I decided that if I could get it up before Thanksgiving, then all I would have to do the Friday after was plug it in.  We also took the dog&#39;s to get their rabies shots and were going to take them to the groomer but changed our mind.  My son&#39;s girlfriend is a groomer and she did them the last time and they looked better than they normally do.  She has recently has left the Doggie Spa and is now working for one of those mobile units that come to your home and bath and groom them in an RV type vehicle in front of your house.  We have checked into it before and it was considerably more expensive than what we normally pay at the groomers but I had my son call her and ask her what they charged and it is &#036;75 per dog and we decided to just go ahead and do that and not have to mess with taking them and leaving them at the groomers for several hours.   Has any one else jumped the gun and started on the Christmas decorations yet?
