One of the greatest joys in my life these days is that I live alone and I do no decorating at all (save the silver bell wreath on the front door).<BR/><BR/>I actually like colored lights on trees, although I can appreciate a tree with all white lights. The first ten or so years of my life we had the infamous silver Christmas tree. I hated it, because you couldn't put any "fun" ornaments on it, just round glass balls. BORING! And there were no lights, except the ones that sat on the floor and spiralled the colors of the rainbow on it. I now wish I had that tree.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399098868122212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33851732.post-65589075567710652752007-12-18T20:53:00.000-06:002007-12-18T20:53:00.000-06:00Ex - My fucking Kaleidoscope link took you to one ...Ex - My fucking Kaleidoscope link took you to one of the coolest places in the whole wide world. Well, maybe not that cool, but it was fun. And do you know how long it would take me to make all the garland if I were to recreate that tree. Not to mention all the meat-themed ornaments. <BR/><BR/>Chaplain - My mother always told us that rum extract tasted just as good as the real stuff. Which proved to me that my mother had never in her life really tasted rum. <BR/><BR/>Carla - Yes, I have a tree. Maybe I'll have to share a picture of it. I still love eggnog, and I wear contacts so I guess I'll have to take them out and stare at the blurry tree some night. Sounds like fun!<BR/><BR/>Philly - I think Hello Kitty lights takes it from an addiction to some kind of sickness. I do have to admit that I love lots of lights on a tree, though. Maybe someone should make vagina lights.Babs Gladhandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120612577936100239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33851732.post-65592572958999791482007-12-18T09:55:00.000-06:002007-12-18T09:55:00.000-06:00I'm one of those "it needs more lights" guys. It's...I'm one of those "it needs more lights" guys. It's been a tradition each year to buy another set of lights. I even convinced my wife to go along with that by showing her how each year they come out with new Hello Kitty lights. Yes, my need for lights is so bad I'll use Hello Kitty to weasel more onto the tree. I'm an addict! I'm like those people slurping cough medicine for a buzz, or a christmas zombie muttering, "need... more.... lights". Oh well, that's the true meaning of christmas, isn't it? Zombies. I mean, it's all about Jesus, right? The jewish zombie who flew out of a cave to save the world? Oh wait, that's Easter. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if Georgia O'Keefe had a cow skull on her MoFUCT, with garland made from flowers that looked like the tree was wrapped in a string of vaginas.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I think I had too much coffee this morning.PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33851732.post-87788192016123399782007-12-18T09:40:00.000-06:002007-12-18T09:40:00.000-06:00So do you have a Christmas tree now as an adult, e...So do you have a Christmas tree now as an adult, er um and the eggnog? I usually just skip the eggnog and head straight for the rum.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Aand the very best way to look at a christmas tree is in the dark with the lights on and your glasses off, unless you don't wear glasses and then it would look normal.yoo hoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918978945701905213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33851732.post-1998530074170365442007-12-18T08:23:00.000-06:002007-12-18T08:23:00.000-06:00I've always enjoyed Christmas trees.

A couple of years ago, he insisted on setting up and decorating the tree by himself. He did a nice job. My older son likes looking at the tree, but he usually finds somewhere else to be at decorating time.<BR/><BR/>I loved this line: <I>"...pretending that there was real rum in the eggnog...."</I> I was so sheltered, I had no clue that eggnog was supposed to have rum in it until I was an adult!
