So what that it's a recycle! I LOOOVE this manip from januaried!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU GUYS!

AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BOLSTERING THIS SEASON!!!

I NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU!




Now, jammed thumb or no jammed thumb, I'm going enjoy the next two days. Only one more gruesome shift before it's all over. Thank God.

I love you all so much! I hope this Christmas Day is full of enough light and laughter to make the darkness of the rest of the year nothing to be remembered. I love you all very much and expect to see our little 12days_of_clois  fic before tomorrow night.

And as soon as I can wake up a little more and making Caramel Apple Pie, on top of the Ginger Tuscan mashed potatoes I made last night, I will attempt to tell you what they are.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY, F-LIST! And even if you don't celebrate, feel the love! *snugs her LJ Family*

And don't forget; it's all about the pie! ;)

...and it ends with the two of us and our freshly-cut 6" cedar Christmas tree. Nothing quite as eventful as the yearly Lane-Kent-Troupe-White Tree Hunt Of DOOM, but we did wander around the tree farm for an hour, trying to make up our mind. Wasn't cold enough for cider this year while we looked, but at least it was a little cool and overcast. I wish we had the choices for more kinds of trees like those of you up North; we went back and forth over whether we should get a sand pine again this year or maybe a Spruce (which they wound up not having), but then I spotted a Cedar I liked. It's so little and cute.

We also saw several of what Anissa and I call 'Jason trees'. You know, the little sad and sparse trees? The ones you know aren't going to get any bigger? And that made both of us smile. You'll see why we call them 'Jason trees' in a few chapters, since Christmas is coming up soon in Heirs.

Pics of Anissa, the tree, and the saw she used to cut it coming up shortly. *LOL*
