Nope! I prefer my Christmas trees right side up!

They are interesting, just not my style I guess.

Tomtemor I love your new Christmas name!

I decided after a year that it was time. It would have been even more perfect had we landed the job at Tomteland.

Thinking of watching Christmas in the Clouds today, a movie about a native american resort trying to save itself from bankruptcy. Grahame Greene stars as a vegetarian native american chef, great comic relief. A nice Christmas treat in the August heat!
M. Emmet Walsh is his usual self, also a great character.

Happy Christmas in August!

Happy Christmas in August! And enjoy the flick!

For some reason I woke up at 2am and found a Christmas program on HSN. What a nice surprise to wake me up!

I woke up at 5:30 am to the sound of my annoying little dog barking at me. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if she knew how to bark Christmas carols like those dogs on TV.

That's hilarious CK! There are dogs that can bark Jingle Bells!

I was just looking at some upside-down Christmas trees on Google images. I don't like them! At least not the pictures I saw.
Does anyone put one up?

I know that seems more anti-Christmas to me. It just ruins the beauty of a decorated tree! Not my taste either MM!

Here is what I found on a quick search. Seems I have also seen them in German/Scandinavian tradition mostly as a space saving device as european apartments are very small. Before I left the US, I had seen "half trees" that can be hung on a wall. That would have been perfect for us. We finally got a tall skinny tree for the apartment last year. It is not my all time favorite, but it does fit our living space. Meanwhile, all my beautiful hallmark ornaments languish in the basement.

Hubby has a test shoot today for a food company commercial, if he gets it, he will fly to India for shooting and earn 5000 SEK! (about 800$), now that would be a nice early Christmas bonus!

Fingers crossed and good wishes sent Tomtemor. What a wonderful early Christmas gift that would be!

Good luck on the test shoot!
Praying it will go your way.

Actually, he had the salary wrong. It is 35,000 SEK! But they had at least 10 candidates. So, we shall see. That would cover our basic expenses for a little over 2 months. Of course, hubby said he wants a flat screen tv out of it as an eraly Christmas present.

Wishing your hubby good luck on this. It would be an awesome early Chirstmas gift.

I didn't watch this yesterday but I have seen it before. I thought it was really neat. I love when regular shows have Christmas themed episodes.

[CandyKane]

NOT a big fan of the upside down tree either. I guess I'm just a traditional Christmas kinda gal.

Sounds great! I am still looking for the Christmas themed Ice Road Truckers. I have to rely on YouTube.

Hubby just got a call for a part time teaching job! Only 4 hours a week, but that puts us back up to the same as unemployment pay! Woohoo! Things are happening slowly, but still happening!
