I could, but it's large, and I'd have to pick it up, disconnect the wires to move it, take the pic, put it back, reconnect everything which causes it to reboot, and it's a lot of crap to go through for a pic.

Are any of you familiar with Laufey (pronounced "LAY vay").

She's from Iceland and this song has been getting played a lot on NYC radio.   Laufey was also asked to perform at the annual Christmas "Jingle Ball" in NYC with the radio station Z100.

Her music combines pop-jazz and bossa nova.  Give it a listen.

Well, can't you move it, or at least turn it off when you want to take a picture? 

So it doesn't look like you're decorating with blonde women?    (Thank you, Sason.    )

BTW, I like your star tree-topper. We always had a star.

I hate to ask--sort of--but I'm going to anyway. Why don't you move your monitor when you want to take pictures of your windows? My opinion--it would make a much nicer picture without the monitor.

Because that's not my monitor, that's my flatscreen TV.    My computer monitor is in the bottom left corner of the image.   The TV is larger than what I wanted, but it was the model that had the functions I wanted, so I got it.

Can we talk about cake? It's not usually in the spotlight during the holidays, but, as I'm sure I've mentioned, I have 8 grandchildren so I've had to up my cake baking fort?. This year, I've baked a red velvet cake, a squash cake in a tube pan and just now I finished a tiramisu. My second grandson asked for it (I think it's because he knows his mom likes it very much). Another no-bake cake I made this year was an ?clair cake. All except the red velvet cake were New York Times recipes. Here's a gift link for one of them:
