A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.

Warm Weather Christmas
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands
Put my feet in the sand
Rockin’ to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin’ silent night with the palm trees a blowin’

A Charlie Brown Christmas
One of my most favorite Christmas shows….. Love, love, love the music! Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!
Home Alone
I really like Home Alone. Though, I didn’t like the sequels much. Okay, I did like the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2. So…… I watched this movie the other day with my six year old and now I hear the Home Alone scream constantly. She screams if her shoe comes untied… she screams at commercials. It was cute in movie, but to live with it 24/7…. not so much. It’s pretty funny to a kid, but to a grown up who has just waited a half an hour in the car rider’s line, it’s a little daunting. It will wear off as the year rolls along, only to be picked up again at next year’s holiday movie viewing. And, as I sit I here writing this, I have a sinister, but funny thought that I just might reenact that Home Alone scream on the day she introduces me to her first boyfriend!! :)
Brigade
Round…. belly
Shhh… the Harvest King is taking an “after the feast” nap! 
Vanity
Butter roasted nut…….. Check! Oh yes… but the clincher was the “Pilgrim in a Box” costume he ordered from “The Festive Squirrel’ catalog. Sigmund was sure that he was a shoe in for the title of Harvest King this year!
