ThisisGina's Advent Calendar: Day 24

Santa's already on his way! He seems to have delivered to just about all of Asia and Australia and he's making his way west towards Europe.

Like they do every year, NORAD is tracking Santa Claus as spans the globe (Right now he's in Buxoro, Uzbekistan), and kids, this is a very handy tool for those times when your parents are trying to make you go to bed because "Santa will be here any minute!" If you find yourself in that situation, just head on over to NORAD, and arm yourself with the truth! "Santa's in New Foundland, DAD.  He won't be in Chicago for hours yet!"

I hope all of my readers have a wonderful holiday.  I am going to try to post a special Christmas photo tomorrow, so please check back.  Have a good one :-).

PS  I can't believe I managed to post something for every day!

ThisisGina's Advent Calendar: Day 7


This year's tree, originally uploaded by gina64.

Today is a busy day, with 2 parties, so I don't have time to do more than post a few photos.

This is our tree this year. It pretty much looks the same every year, but I still love to look at it. We always get a Fraser Fir. Helpful tip: pour boiling hot water into the tree stand the first time you water it. It helps to clear any sap that might be blocking the water from seeping into the trunk.

If you look closely at this photo, you can see the reflection of our living room in the silver ball (click through for a larger version at Flickr).

If you look closely, you can almost see me.

A Very Frawnch Christmas

Add the 2 inches of snow we got overnight, the Christmas music on the TV and the cup of hot chocolate I just had, and I'm feeling pretty damn festive this morning.
