Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!

I'm feeling festive today. The first music I listened to this morning was Christmas music I found in an email played by a local trombone star. I dressed in my only green and red shirt to go donate blood this morning (blood is also red, therefore festive!) After collecting my pint or so of blood, they gave me a red sticker that says "Be nice to me. I gave blood today." and a rem arm band. You just don't get more spirited than this. When I got back, I took a few pictures of the Christmas decorations in my house. And now I'm just sitting here typing this and thinking of Christmas elves as I listen to Enya. I think she's an elf. And I think that Enya plays in heaven. The only thing that is missing this year is the snow, but who's complaining? The sun is even out today! I feel terrific. Here are some of my pictures. I have to give credit to my mother, the creative genius behind all the decorations and locations of furnishings. Merry Christmas!


This is me looking fabulous in my Vermont-
themed Christmas outfit. Notice the attractive
arm band on my left arm. Those are a hot item,
everyone should donate blood this Christmas
season to get your very own.













This is the stocking that I've had since I was born. Awwww... I especially like the holly tucked up under his hat. I'll do anything for a good sprig of holly.

This is the first thing you see when you come
into my house. Isn't it beautiful?















This is a picture of a nice sunny day. It looks pretty blue, because well, it's winter. But it's a nice effort. I think it's impossible to take a red picture in the winter. It's really more of a summer color, and you can't fool the sun. Blue it is.
