Merry Christmas all of you out there. Its the time of year to be with friends and family, and discuss politics and fashion. Hillary, knit jackets are in and its a good season for neutral earth tones, pale ones, to match her complexion. Also lets here it for the Donald, and his red tie.
Hi Everyone: First snow here of size in 2015 just in time for Christmas, I recommend removing all the snow from the driveway while its cold in the morning on these slushy days. Later it will not move as easily and be tough to deal with. After the driveway, to reveal the lights, I would go ahead and remove snow from the entire yard using a snowblower, down to the grass. In the day its not so picturesque but in the evening, perfection!
Also avoid sandals at this time outdoors, particularly open toe with socks, the wet socks will discolor your coordinated outfit, and possibly leach the sandal dye onto your foot leaving unseemly darker blotches which could be confused with bruising or even hematoma. finally, too long in the snow with wet socks in open toed sandals (like a brisk morning snow walk) may lead to dangerous hyperthermia and real blackened toes ala Everest.

Hi Auntie-booer’s
Just a quick note of caution from a very recent thought, when you are accessorizing, and have the puppy out, MAKE SURE THEY ARE KEPT AWAY FROM THE BAKING FIRE> and have an extinguisher close by! AB
With the warm winter, why not move your holiday baking outdoors? Take the cookie dough and put it into the open fire pit for that unique smoky/campy flavor for a once in a lifetime flavor fest of holiday fun.
To get the fire pit going just pile some rocks in a circle, start the fire, burn down to coals, and sample the temperature with a thermometer at the level of the tray to make sure you have it right. Watch carefully so the cookies dont burn on the bottom!
Here are 4 quick advisories on these topics.
As winter chill rolls in, this year accessorize with real wool scarves that are the exact same color as your overcoat. Warm and creates a continuous illusion of height with your neck and scarf appearing to be part of your coat and torso.
If heading overseas, this is a good time to renew your passport
I would bake as much holiday cheer as you can now, and use that big freezer you have or buy one to save time with the family over the next month
Its a good time to get a pup, before the real winter sets in and guests arrive, so you can train it and get used to the holiday sleep deprivation

Are up in Downtown Geneva, Soon ours will be complete. My tip for today is to do a few at a time and plugin in the lights before stringing to avoid having to tear down or fix while on bushes and other decor. I wish I had done that before spending hours putting them up today. Hope you can save some time with this tip…AB
