That boat deifinitely has had it. Shame.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about Christmas spirit. I have none this year, except for the desire to drink rum and eggnog.

Sometimes things come together better after a little "me" time.photowannabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1166223601642297672006-12-15T18:00:00.000-05:002006-12-15T18:00:00.000-05:00Great work, i like photos that tell a story, and your description with this photo work well! I find that while setting up the Christmas tree + playing Carols the Christmas Spirit comes best!

One of the most HILARIOUS books I've read. And it's short, so it's good for a quick read. If you do end up reading it, let me know how you like it.Alicehttp://www.mylifeinfocus.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1166190155806439942006-12-15T08:42:00.000-05:002006-12-15T08:42:00.000-05:00My favorite books are Joanne Flukes cookie murder books. Nothing gruesome, no foul language, a litte romance and a little comdey. Each has several cookie recipes that are all winners. The first in the series is A Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, but there is a Christmas one you could jump into first and then catch up with the others later if you wish. Sugar Cookie Murder.

Still, i'm sure we'll all have a good one when it finally arrives.davidhttp://roadtonowhere.my-expressions.com/noreply@blogger.com
