I could see the aluminum tree
Through the pitcha winda,
It turned red
It turned blue
It turned green
The infamous words of Yat poet, Benny Grunch...I'll be embracing those this Christmas. Years past it's been "I Bought Presents" and "Norris the Nocturnal Nutria" but Macy's ain't there no more and Harry Lee died leaving Norris with no need for a bullet proof vest under his tree. Just wouldn't be right to even attempt a semblance of "normal" Christmas traditions so we'll be going heavy in the direction of sarcasm and hopefully laughter. Jerry and I spent yesterday afternoon looking for the most obnoxious tree we could find, today the search is on for a color wheel so my tree will change colors. Up in the air if I'm going to decorate the "aluminium tree", seems like the only ornaments worthy of such a statement would be bottle caps from Abita and Barq's bottles, Mardi Gras bead garland and maybe minden shells and laquered crawfish shells thrown on for good measure. Wish I woulda' thought of this 2 weeks ago, could have really done it justice.

At what am o'clock am I reading you POSTED this? Do you ever sleep? I do hope you found the color wheel!! I'd decorate in LSU Colors only! Just a thought!!! I hope you had a wonderful day together with family!!!
Awww, thanks for the happy thoughts. Only color wheel I found was at my hairdresser's but he wouldn't let me have it. Little tree stayed nekid except for lights and fleur de lis topper. Think we'll be decking him out for several seasons from now on,purple and gold will be on the schedule for sure. And just for the record...menopause wrecks havoc on sleep patterns.
