Garlic. Sheepskin Lined Boots. Christmas Lights that Work.
As I mentioned earlier today, we went to Visconti's in Leavenworth for dinner today. They have a really inexpensive appetizer dish with bread and cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is loaded with garlic, or as I like to think, it has a barely adequate amount of garlic in it. I honestly don't think you can get too much garlic, especially when everyone in the family is eating it so you don't have to worry about being the only one.
We're not going to have to worry about vampires in our house tonight. (O.K., I know that vampires aren't real, but still...).
It was 22 degrees outside in Leavenworth. Planning ahead, I wore my sheepskin lined boots that I bought in Leavenworth several years ago. My feet stayed toasty warm even when trudging through the snow. I like it when my feet are warm.
Leavenworth was celebrating their tree-lighting festival. They have it for the first three weekends in December every year. We didn't go to Leavenworth today to watch the festival. We went for the food, the shopping, and to watch the people. It seems that some people have a tradition of wearing cool festive hats. The line outside the hat shop was long, all the way across the street. Some of the hats were spectacular.
We didn't stay for the tree lighting. Instead we left at about 5:00 PM and drove home. We got home about 7:00 PM, and my wife dug out some Christmas Lights and started putting them on some small decorative trees. I love it when the lights work and you don't have to spend hours on the floor with a replacement set of bulbs testing every single socket to find the one that is burned out. At first it appeared that one of the light strings was going to do that to me, but then with a small adjustment to the plug it lit up.
My wife finished putting lights on the trees, and ornaments on two of them. I put ornaments on the other one. It was fun. I'll probably dig out the other decorations tomorrow morning and put them up in the yard, and we'll put up our main tree and decorate it. I hope the lights for that one go as smoothly as the lights for the three we did today.
That would be really cool.

Rightwing Guy trackbacked with "If The Iraq Study Group Retreats, We Cannot Follow"
Many democrats are call this the end all report on Iraq and that we must follow any and all recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, otherwise known as the Baker-Hamilton Commission, but we must understand they do not have all the answers.

 | Perri, You might be interested in the clearinghouse blog on Christmas controversy I set up with Stiknstein for the season. It is an equal opportunity lampooner of all the hoopla over the "War on Christmas"... Feel free to leave any Christmas-related links over in a comment!
It's "War on the War on Christmas" http://waroc.wordpress.com
Have a great Advent!
