SoccerMom had asked for a photo of our Christmas Tree and here it is, all decorated! I sort of threw everything on vertically, lights and garlands.
We just made plans with some friends to go see 'Jersey Boys' playing in Toronto over the Xmas holidays. So we will go to dinner somewhere first and it sounds like a nice night out, I am looking forward to it. They are advertising the show quite a bit on TV and we almost didn't get the tickets we wanted.
I forced myself to exercise at the gym yesterday morning and passed on buying that small lemon meringue pie at the grocery store later on. (270 calories for one quarter slice, pies are dangerous) Instead, I found this recipe for chewy peanut butter cookies at Blogger for Hire
and we made them. They really are chewy and I ate one too many.
One of L's teachers witnessed a fatal car accident yesterday and the poor lady was still in shock today. She was asking all the students to please take care on the roads and not to speed. This person was speeding on slippery roads, his car slid under an 18-wheeler truck and that was it, in an instant. He was driving right in front of the teacher's car.

Oh my goodness! That would shake anybody up. Yikes.
I do love your tree by the way.
I've also heard that Jersey Boys is terrific. I know you'll all love it.
Hello Christine, I really enjoyed the articles on diabetes and cancer. I drink lots of tea but not much coffee. I saw a program on t.v. the other night saying they thought CT scans may be causing a lot of cancer because they do them too much and you get so much radiation from them. Your tree is so pretty. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Hey Christine
Thanks for the picture, that is really neat! I think I am going to do the little tree in the basement like that this year :o)
Gosh, that's scary. One year, we were driving home from my parent's house when a car in front of us several lanes over hit the guard rail and flipped over many times. I think being extra careful around the holidays is a very good thing.
Your tree looks so pretty! I like the big star on top :-)
Kay, thanks about the tree. I'll let you know how we liked Jersey Boys.
Judy, thanks for stopping by. I wish you a wonderful Christmas as well, and glad you liked the news articles.
SoccerMom, you really are in the Christmas spirit!
Japra, I had a big floppy ribbon on top of the tree for so many years, one year I finally decided to get the star.
