Friday evening was tree decorating at Casa Fisk, Gledhill & Abel. I think the guys eventually enjoyed it, even though I made them turn off "Alien vs. Predator" for the billionth time. I had made a Christmas cd on the fly since I didn’t know that channel the burning log was on (its channel 18 for those of you who don’t know. I found it the next day.) and we listened to classic Christmas music while we put up the tree and decorated it not only with store-bought decorations, but homemade ones as well.

We hung our personalized stockings, chatted, drank rum and eggnog and watched the Christmas episode of “Scrubs”.

I’m so ready to get my Christmas on. I’m even completely done all of my shopping. Whoo!

Oh yeah. What a beautiful tree!
