To the West it is snowing in Dallas, this could make for an interesting Christmas Holiday here.

Hopefully the Tornado’s will stay away and we can just enjoy the family and food tonight and tomorrow. It is certainly a lot different since the kids are grown up. We are going to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie tomorrow as a family.

Then, she did the same thing for the kids. So, we now have enough hand picked Christmas tree ornaments that we have no room for some of the old standards.

Of course I did not realize when we moved into our new house this year, which has a cathedral ceiling in the family room that this would come into play at Christmas.

Now can have a BIGGER Christmas tree! 

I never, ever, would have thought of that on my own, trust me, lol.

Oh, I guess the one good thing is I think I finally have her convinced to use an Artificial Christmas Tree!

It can be a little bit of a challenge depending on the person, but it is always fun to try and find small, inexpensive stocking stuffers. Of course, online shopping has made this a lot easier, but the real fun is shopping the old fashion way for these items.

There are probably a lot of reasons for this including the time it takes to shop for a tree and the ability to haul it. Plus as with almost everything else, online Christmas tree sales are sure to make it easier. Why run around town fighting the Christmas tree sales when you can have a Christmas Tree delivered to your door.

And just think, it may be the last Christmas Tree you ever have to buy.

My Dad came from Florida and spent a couple days with us on his way to Texas. Always good to have him with us. I always realize how much like him I truly am. Like looking in a mirror.

I am working 2 days this week and then I will be off until next Tues. I would like to think I will relax and work on some of my pet projects, but, I am sure the “Honey Do’s” will capture a lot of my time.

Just a few of my computer projects I have going.

I am still working on CybersMusic with my brother Mike.

Started another site with a friend called Blog Snare

Working on my CAADD @ CyberCoded.net Blog

Trying to update my old CyberCoded.com website, and contemplating moving some of the code to PHP from ASP, which should be fun for me.

I really need to put a new hard drive in my home PC.

Yep, I got enough to keep me busy for a few days, along with picking up leaves, hanging pictures, changing oil, yadda yadda yadda…..

Of course anyone who knows me, knows what a scrooge I appear to be. I would say it’s not really Christmas that gets me, it’s what we’ve turned it into. Christmas was and is a celebration of the birth of Christ. Hence the spelling of CHRISTmas.

I always think of Christmas as a time to reflect on what I have to be thankful for, not, how many presents are under a tree.
