We're enjoying our first Christmas in the new house. This is our biggest tree ever, as usual an evergreen cut from the large selection of trees on our land. The Hermit thought this white pine looked a bit Charlie Brown-ish, but I think it looks magnificent with the lights. And he can just go out there in 0 degree weather and 2 foot deep snow and find a better one if he wants! :)Speaking of Charlie Brown, I bought myself a couple of Christmas presents on iTunes. I got the soundtrack from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It's "gotta have" Christmas music around here. I also got Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' "Jingle All The Way". It is fast becoming my favorite Christmas album. Their version of "Twelve Days of Christmas" is pure genius; only the Flecktones would have thought of playing each of the twelve verses in a different key, time signature, and musical style. The whole album is pure musical joy.
And, this just happens to be my 1000th post!

Merry Christmas you guys and Happy Post 1000!
I just love seeing the progress on you house and thinking how enjoyable it must to finally be in it, even if it's not finished.
Our place is still under renovation, with only the living floor done and a kitchen and laundry-room/pantry to remodel.
I have another great beer I may try and send you before the year is over.
Thanks for continuing your visits to Earth Home Garden even though I've been pretty inconsistent with keeping up with comments.
Peace & Love
Hi Jim- It's so good to hear from you! But you avoided the question: Does that Santa not bear some resemblance to you? ;)
Great beers are always welcome around here. We finally found a semi-local store owner who will special order Anderson Valley Hop Ottin for us.
Have a great Christmas, you guys. And a very happy new year. :)
Ooops...
I missed the fine print.
Yes, I do see the resemblance!!!
Oh boy, I just re-read my previous comment, nice spelling & grammar Jim!
Can you tell I've been sippin' the Christmas cheer?
Jim- You and me both. ;) I better get off the blog, I've got presents to wrap! Cheers!
Merry Christmas, Deb. The pine looks great in that soaring space. And, it's not Christmas without Vince Giraldi!

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I, too, think the tree is perfect.
