I went grocery shopping today and the grocery store was a nightmare. Hopefully I won't have to go back again before Christmas. :D

We are going out to eat tonight then going shopping. Not really Christmas shopping, picking up something we need for the house. :scene:

Enjoyed a great night out with friends. We did a little shopping, but mostly I just enjoyed all the Christmas lights on the drive home. :smilecc:

This year dd's getting a new Christmas stocking. She's always used the same one so I thought it was time for a change. What's really cool is that Santa is going to bring it for her. :elfgrin:

Green Christmas: It can take up to 15 years to grow an average-sized tree of 6 to 7 feet, sometimes as little as 4 years, but the average growing time is 7 years.
