Protecting the Christmas tree from Lily & the cats
Christmas is a fun time of the year, but having a little girl pulling ornaments off the tree, or taking it down, isn’t one of the fun parts.
That’s why we put a gate around our Christmas tree. We purchased a North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard and wrapped it around the tree. It fits nicely and helps keep little ones from running into it.
However, it doesn’t stop little hands from reaching out and grabbing ornaments that are at her height. So each time she grabs something, I put it back on the tree, further up.

Merry Christmas From Our Family To Yours
We hope that your holiday season is happy and bright. May you enjoy your family, friends and all that life has to offer.
I know that this year is special for Christi and I as it’s Lily’s first Christmas. I think she has more gifts than the wife and I combined and it’ll be exciting come Christmas morning. Granted she won’t know what’s going on, but we’ll enjoy it for her!

It doesn’t matter if I’m at home or at work, I like to have the Christmas spirit alive. Below is both my home and work desk all decked out.

SNL’s Hilarious Holiday Balls Sketch
Back in 1998, Saturday Night Live did a very funny sketch about an NPR radio show where they interviewed a guy named Pete Schweddy from a bakery called Seasons Eatings who makes delicious holiday balls.
Take a look:
The funny stuff doesn’t get going until about 2 minutes into the video so keep watching. 
18 Holiday Songs To Party To
Every artist seems to make a Christmas album, however most seem to record the same old songs the same old way. Lets face it, there’s only so many times you can hear White Christmas sang the same way.
Sometimes you want something new, something festive and something to put you in a party mood. Something to dance to!
I’ve put together a list of some of my fun and/or unique holiday songs that are worth checking out. Maybe you’ll find one or two to add to your collection.

Wall-E with a Candy Cane
Caught WALL-E in the holiday spirit collecting candy canes the other day. Wouldn’t it be fun to see the little guy with a sugar high?
