Warning - Husbands don't read!

Hmm. Don't think our Christmas tree gets downloaded until the 10th or so. I always have to input the lights. With any luck, I can hire a contractor or two to help connect the ornaments and then we can turn on XmOS v2.007. Of course, the big surprise is going to see what kind of add-ons come during the holidays.

Yesterday I went deer hunting all day - all I saw was squirrels and a couple of grouse (and a mob of woodpeckers sounding like teletype machines!).

Today I was a good family guy and did all the outside decorating: one of those plastic light-up Nativity sets with figures about 20" tall (I built a wooden "stable" thingy to place them in. With spruce boughs and little white lights on top it looks pretty cool). Also, little white lights on the bushes (non-blinking! I hate the blinkers!!).

The best part was my Dad gave me all of his old fashioned strings of lights with the large-sized bulbs (some of them dating back to the `50's). With these around the windows, we now have a "retro" look as well.

The tree won't go up for a couple of weeks yet....
