You Should Have a Blue Christmas Tree



For you, the holidays represent a time of calm, understanding, and peace.


You avoid family fights, and you don't get too stressed out - even when things are crazy!



You like to make Christmas about making everyone's life a little bit better.


You don't get caught up in greed or commercialism. You're too sincere for that.



Your blue tree would look great with: Lots of silver tinsel



You should spend Christmas Eve watching: It's a Wonderful Life



What you should bake for Santa: Chocolate chip cookies

What The Holidays Mean to You



For you, the holidays are about emotional connections and bonds. You are happiest being around those you love.



You celebrate the holidays in a minimalist style. You are likely to only give one great present [NOT] and decorate your house with a few special items [yup].



During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in.



You think the holidays should be decadent and indulgent. You never mind gaining a few holiday pounds... it's worth it!



Your favorite holiday memories strongly evoke your senses. You are vividly aware of all the tastes, smells, and sounds of the holidays.

I knew we had coyotes in Chicago. I didn't know that otters are making a comeback. How otterly cool is that?

(I cross the Chicago River every day on my way to and from the office. I'll be keeping an eye out and my camera handy from now on!)

Now here's a guy after my own heart. Wish there were a hell of a lot more like him in Congress.

Here's more on that slimeball Drew Peterson. How come it took so long for this to make the news, anyway?

And, in keeping with Drew's strategy of tainting the entire potential jury pool by behaving so outrageously that you can't help by think he's guilty, here's two more cards in a well-played hand. Yee Gods.
