Tree Decorating Party

My friends David, Matt and Blake came over for dinner and to help me decorate one of my trees (it's too lonely doing it alone so I started the tradition of having people over - these guys helped last year, along with another friend, Mike - he was late this year). I made them a fantastic dinner of beer can chicken, twice baked garlic potatoes, pepperoni bread, salad and a wonderful dump cake. It was delicious (although I didn't get to eat it until 2 hours after everyone else ate - I had a horrible choking incident and it took a couple hours to clear up.) The tree looks beautiful - it has only been up two nights now and and both nights before I went to bed, I sat in front of it with my bedtime martini (pear vodka is still my vodka of choice) and make a Christmas wish and thought of something I am grateful for.
