It's pretty, but I kept waiting for the lyrics to start! It makes sense now that I know it was part of a score for a movie!

The other night I was watching a special on the Cassini/Huygens probe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini-Huygens The tech is pretty remarkable, but, I am always facinated by the timing. NASA took this ship, flew it to Venus and used the planet to slingshot it out to Jupiter. They know where the planets will be in the future but to plan thing out that far in advance.......incredible. ----------------------- The last few nights were great for...

The tree doesn't go up until 2 weeks before Christmas, so I guess it will be the weekend of the 12th this year. However, I will start putting out other decorations thruout the house, a little at a time, probably next week. I just can't go with putting the tree up in Nov - that's too early IMO, and if I did that - I'd probably be sick of it by the time Christmas got here. When I was growing up, my father would never put a...

Black Friday has been the traditional start of the Christmas season. Do you decorate for Christmas, if so when do you start your decorating and how much do you get into it? My wife sort of morphs Halloween into fall decor into Thanksgiving. These are constantly changing since she has MANY closets full of decorations. TODAY the Christmas tree went up but she will wait until tomorrow to take down Thanksgiving. We will probably end up with 3...

I'm giving a final update here, because I think MaryBeth may pick up from here. Nikata is home, Jimmy and MB are aware of all that's gone on (the balance ended up being ZERO!!! ) and they may need some advice. I told MB this is the best place. I don't know how she'll sign on, but she'll reference this thread. I know you'll all welcome them as you did me and Pinot {she's the former petsitter I've referred...

We actually set our tree up today after the game. It is 8 feet tall. It's an artificial one, but it is very big and pretty so it looks real. I like it-we had fun putting it up. We don't ever set anything like decorations/lights outside. I don't know why-we just never did and we still don't I really like riding around looking at Christmas lights tho...

I too am quilty of morphing from one season to the next. I started on Thanksgiving, my outside decorations, it's a tradition. I really go all out for Christmas but unlike your wife, am trying to quit buying!

Yes Wishing You & All A Very Happy & Safe ThanksGiving..
