Terry suggested I start taking it down today ~ yeah, right! He's going to be watching football all day! He keeps turning off the tree lights and closing the blinds so the neighbors won't see it! Oh the scandal! I'm definitely going to be watching the Broncos/Chargers game! I hope that you, Richard, and Christopher had a lovely holiday season! Sorry to read that you had the crud!
