I was going to thank you for your compliment on my decorating skills until I read...
I'm generally a total environmentalist but somehow just can't do Christmas with an artificial tree. Blech! Guess I figure they grow them specifically for the purpose of lighting up our lives so might as well enjoy it.
Really nice that you were able to go all out for your family this year. Sounds cliche but IMO it really is more rewarding to give than to receive.
OMG, he's terrible! We have to keep the doors in the house closed or he'll pilage them. He ate one of his beds while I was washing the cover, is constantly getting into unguarded trash cans, ate one of my Christmas cards, my ex's work schedule, my daughter's contact lens solution bottle, and one of my pillow shams all within the past couple of weeks. He is a real PITB but we somehow 
and adore him.
Can't wait to see your new pix...

Meh, I've never really been INTO x-mas like most ppl are. Halloween has always been my thing (no I'm not goth lol).
We live in a row of townhomes and we sit in the very back. My whole point of decorating is so ppl can see it! Not so I can light up my neighbors bedroom with xmas lights lol. I was actually going to get a x-mas tree this year but decided not to and spend the money on family gifts instead. It's our first year with a decent amount of spending money and I kinda went a bit wild. FWIW I'm against getting a real xmas tree when there are plenty of trees out there that last longer and aren't hurting the enviroment. /End Earth protest lol.
Anyway not being Christian and not having kids has kinda made xmas just... meh for me. Feels like I'm the only one!
I'm not BAH humbug really! I just have trouble really "getting into it"

Anyway almost everyone in my family is having hard times this year except for us. So I figured it was my turn to give back
. Though I didn't realize how much I'd be spending. My Mom has a huge family (grandma had 9 kids) and obv they all had kids. Thank goodness not all live here or I'd be broke! lol.

I see it as a benifit to the earth for them to buy cut trees at least out planet gets the fresh air until they are cut and then tree farms plant new ones any way.
On another note whats the word with the tourney any news from stars yet?

. Of course when they start sucking out (ie turn=2 there) then it just sends me closer to the edge.
