Actually.. About 1am on xmas morning. Just finishing up some prep for tomorrow.. Nice day doing some last minute shopping.. I actually find that pretty relaxing… It was really nice driving through the post ice storm beauty..

Midway through my shopping day i rendezvoused with max downtown. We took a quick father and son pic on floorish

 

Then. We ran into our friends ray and jeff by total coincidence…and took them for a quick beer.

 

Around 7 we went up to tim and jens for a fondue extravaganza.. Really interesting stuff…

We got home around 10.. Then came the question of the tree.. We'd picked up a 'rescue tree' last night at Paquettes.. We had put some lights on it.. But gabe said it looked like a tree in a dentists office (no offense meant to dentists).

 

He was right.. It lacked soul.. What to do ? We started thinking of names to work from 'dentis-tree' ? 'Geome-tree'? 'Tigonome-tree' ?… Hm,,.. We settled on 'circuit-tree' for a while.. I got out a tone of circuit boar and we started to hang them…

Ok.. Clever.. But not pretty… It had to be right…

So.. Off came the lights…on went some simple blue lights ..Diane had managed to find the red bull garlands wed made last year from all the samstones that sam had collected… And the hanging cans of redbull… and the golden redbull angel max had made out of them

 

Now it felt like we were done.. And sam was part of the tree.. Thats what i needed to see..

 

Ok.. Got more prep to do.. More tomorrow…

Merry xmas ya'll…

Nitr all, nite sam
