As we discussed by phone, Nicole won ANTM. Bleh. She just seemed a little vapid and whiny to me. Oh well.

So I put up the tree last night, and today I put the lights on. It makes me very happy. Other Sister says I'm the Christmas Elf (or Holiday Elf?) -- I think I may be. I love putting up the lights and tree, our low-singing drive, wrapping gifts... So now the tree sits all sparkly, waiting for ELC and The Boy to hang the ornaments. Yea!!
