Isn't it interesting how we celebrate Christmas???

I finally decided to put up Christmas lights last night. It didn't go so well.


Ahhhh. All done. I don't know. It's just a little bland. Needs something else. MORE LIGHTS!!!

The airlines get into the spirit too!!!


Some celebrate with drink.




It just isn't Christmas without Frank and Bing.
