rains held off long enough for us to make the 2nd annual trek to Elveden for our Christmas tree. We were told today that you must name your tree after the dog that delivers it so this year, the Skelton Yuletide greenery is hearby named Fizz. This big fuzzy rug is only 14 months old and was actually the cute little puppy that people played with last year. We did the quick selection, grabbed some roast turkey and cranberry jelly sandwiches from the cafe, and then watched the sky decide it had been kind enough so we jumped in the
Volvo in time for the rains to come visiting. Kind of sad to think that this will be our last visit with the big old shaggy dogs. We then proceeded home, built a fire and are spending the afternoon decking the halls. MJ did let us know that it would be much more fun to go and cut our own tree. He is obviously too young to remember our excursions to the tree farm in Indiana where we would lay down this 12 foot monster every year and then we would proceed to yell and fight as we tried to get the way-too-big tree through the way-too-small door.

Graham and Alison shared a ride with us to the Winter Wonderland themed party. The meal was nice and the party was quite festive.
