I am feeling better (albeit I tire easily). Our anniversary is on the 27th and I'm trying to talk My Honey into buying the brooch for me as an anniversary gift. I reminded him that he has set a precedent of buying me beautiful pins/brooches for our anniversary. He's grumpy right now, though, because he's trying to take care of all of his end of the semester stuff/grading. Thanks, Nicole. I am feeling better (albeit I tire easily).

You just know how to get on my good side, don't you? Of course you can come back inside. With that 20% discount, I'm tempted to just go ahead and get the pin, whether I watch the movies or not!

It's cold outside and my nose is starting to run. On the decorating front, I have a wreath on the front door, stockings up on the wall, and my two ceramic trees with a string of lights wrapped around the bases. That's enough for me. I really like the picture of the family and their Christmas tree! Hairball PS: I think you need to buy the pin and wear it while you watch movies!! *peeks out from doghouse*

You just can't go wrong, Dr. J. I feel so in tune with your retro thinking! I have been pondering this penchant we have for getting ready early. Don't get me wrong -- I love to get ready early -- and for some of us it's a necessity. On the other hand, if I'm not ready by December 1, I'm tempted to panic and give it all up as "too late" and that's ridiculous. I remember getting up from my nap on Christmas Eve when I was probably three (1952), and my mother and dad were decorating the house. What a great memory that is! Now that the opulent "Better Homes and Gardens" Christmas celebration has slipped into the past for us, I delight in the understated -- the tree, a simple electric candle in the window, a wreath on the door, candles and greenery here and there, some vintage angels -- well, you get the idea.
