Oh, AND it’s Musical Monday! There is a dearth of pop music for Hanukkah…Adam doesn’t do it for me as an actor, but how can you not sing along to this? (This is an updated version, all new people listed!)

This is called a Witches Broom, but it looks like this tree at Torrey Pines State Park was decorated by nature for Christmas!

What’s on YOUR Christmas tree?

My tree is a tree of memories; of places I’ve been and of people I care about. These are a few of the ornaments made by my steno teacher in high school over 30 years ago. I just learned recently that she died. Mrs. F  was a huge part of my life–a mother figure– way back when. All these Christmases later, her memory is brought to the surface, with love and affection as I decorate my tree and unwrap these handmade ornaments.
