I was going to leave that really awesome pun alone, but decided on a truncated response. I just don't have much time for branching out this morning.

We are now decking the halls with large shoes, skateboards, musical instruments and strange parts of electronic objects. The tree remains leaning against the wall, undecorated, and it hasn't drawn a single comment from any of the young people who have started their "we are home and must all see each other immediately or we will die!" visitations. We had four come by before Ammo was even home, just to check in.

Dan announced this morning that we were decorating the tree from hell this evening but I just gave him a Look.

"It's still upright!" he argued. "You said if it stood up for two days, we could decorate it."

I responded that it isn't really standing on its own, it's leaning against the wall, which does NOT mean it is capable of bearing 50 pounds of lights and decorations on its own.

"It will be fun!" he said. "Get more eggnog."

"Get more bourbon," I said.

If you have ever seen Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation, you have a good picture of Dan.
