Hey Chris, WOW this is the first time I am laying eyes on your popcorn tin, I wasn't sure if it was going to say redskins or Washington football team, wonderful! I hope the popcorn is yummy. Happy birthday to your mom and Alyssa. I love your Christmas lights. :D I love the DS Christmas tree. I can't wait to see the lights on it.

big hugs

Hi Chris and HOlly I hope you all had a great time at the birthday party. It is so neat that you are starting to decorate for Christmas. John and I got the Christmas decorations out yesterday and today I will start to decorate. I want to get my tree up and not sure what else I will do. Your Christmas village sounds adorable. I always wanted a Christmas village but never started the collection. I have tns of Christmas decorations that I have collected over the years so to buy any more would be foolish. Your popcorn tin is really neat. I wasn't aware that they had anything with just the Washington name on it. That will really be a collectible down the road when they do finally settle on a name.

Big Steeler game tomorrow evening. I am looking forward to the game. Then Sunday we play Washington!! That will be a fun game as well.

Happy birthday to your Mom and Alyssa. I hope they both enjoyed their special days. John has a birthday in January and then mine is in February.

Love all the nature that you got to see around your yard. Susie was in the yard last night and I was so happy. I am so glad that no one got her. As long as she stays on our property she will be safe because our property is posted and no one is allowed to hunt on it. John didn't get a buck yet but he is still trying. He has two weeks and probably will get one while he is at deer camp this week. He doesn't get to excited until deer camp. I can't wait for the alone time for a couple of days. I wish I could go to Cindy's house but that is just to dangerous right now with the virus on the rampage. Hopefully next year I can go again.

You and Holly have a great Monday. Hugs to you both John and Debbie
