Christmas Update - CNN Style

• We took advantage of our high ceilings in the living room and got an eight (8) foot tree this year. That’s 400 lights on that sucker, people. Big - dang - tree

• I have been conditioned to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. I’m gonna try to break this habit this year and hope that people who don’t do Christmas forgive me. I’m all for being PC, but c’mon.

• My current total for Peppermint Mochas consumed is three. Two for Starbucks and one for Disneyland. Stay tuned for updates.

• I titled this image “All done” on flickr, but it wasn’t/isn’t. We decorated more on the mantle since this photo, and

• I have attended one out of the seven Christmas parties I’ve been invited to this year. Three are not work related.

• I haven’t set foot into a Best Buy since Black Friday (which happened to royally suck). I plan on going there shortly after Christmas though since I got some birthday dough burning a hole in my wallet.

• Holiday means vacation across the pond, and I’m looking forward to having some family in town and celebrating Christmas week AWAY from work.

• We went LED as far as outdoor lighting goes. I can’t say I like them as well as regular lights, but they sure cost less to run. (15% of the cost!) — but maybe there are better ones out there, we just got the cheapy white ones from Home Depot this year.

• This isn’t Christmas related, but more of a plain homeowner fact. I actually get excited when trash day comes because that means that we have empty trash cans to fill up! Weee!! I’m boring.

    If LED lights take only 15% of the power of regular lights, that tells me you ought to be putting up 5 times as many LEDs. Chevy Chase that roof of yours . . .

    I’m so glad you have a week off!! That’s exciting. I really don’t get the whole “Don’t say Merry Christmas” thing! Why can’t you say both? My building has a giant tree (with a tree topper that looks like a Las Vegas showgirl’s hat! - it’s crazy) and a giant menorah.
