  2. Wow! A stunner. And I'll bet it smells wonderful in there--I just love the smell of a real Christmas tree! Very nostolgic. We're going to start getting real ones in coming years when the girls are growing up... the fake ones just can't compare.

    Merry Christmas to you and JB! :) I'm going to make Sweet Nasties tonight I think...
