Oh Christmas tree adorned
by sunset skies
how richly God has decked thee
~~~
Last line from one of the versions of the Christmas carol, O Tannenbaum, written by Ernst Anschutz.
I took this photo last evening from a bedroom window. Enjoying the splendor of this universe. I’ll be gone again for a little while. I have a date with my doctor tomorrow to have my gallbladder removed; as Gilda Radner said so eloquently….It’s always something!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and happy holidays with your loved ones.

Unbelievably well! As smooth as silk. Laparoscopic procedure, in at 0830 and home by 3 p.m. same day. No pain! I’m ready for the holidays!! Thanks so much.

Wonderful photo, even if I’ll have “O, Tannenbaum” playing in my head for the rest of the day. 🙂

Have a wonderful Christmas, Angeline, and may every happiness come your way in 2014

Thank you, Alison. I’ve been on a strict no fat/grease diet for over a month (that part messed up the Mexico trip somewhat not being able to eat the tacos unless they were grilled fish/shrimp)…but I’m doing this now so I can hopefully enjoy a Christmas tamale or two! And travel without fear of a flare up.
Happy holidays to you and Don!!!
