Bruce the Spruce says Happy Holidays! He's the gift that just keeps on giving. He's the southern cousin of Douglas the Fir, but his blue-lite eyes and soothing jingles bring the same ammount of cheer. Not much going on here: last minute shopping, a slew of functions until Sunday, and annoying my mother. My brother is home from San Francisco and we've regressed to our childhood days and have been play fighting and teaming up on my Mom. She acts really annoyed and says we're wearing her out, but secretly I know she loves it!
