i am an excellent pie maker at the right price.

[jencoleslaw]

and the price is?

[dgreco]

i don't think i'm allowed to soliciate "baked goods" $$ here. But, if you need to bring a pie somewhere, i'd be happy to give you a baking lesson or make a pie for you while you do chores around the house. I have to do some baking next week anyway and the cats could certainly use a bath.

you should put a little santa hat, or a rudolph nose on that turkey. that would be so awesome.

[Cotuit]

I dumped the turkey one, I didn't like it. I'm onto the pilgrim now. They didn't have Christmas, they just repented all winter.

If you were a pedestrian you would have relaized that those have been up for a week. I saw them installing them and almost caused a scene, but didn't want to spend the night in the PPD lockup.

Mud stalls Christmas tree raising

Officials postponed the raising of a 42-foot Christmas tree in Boston Common until next week after the crane lifting it became stuck in the mud. (Globe)

Yes!

Let's hope that when the politicians put a Christmas Tree up again this year in the Statehouse Rotunda....it doesn't catch fire again. *snicker*

do they realize temps are only supposed to be below freezing at night and only for a couple days?

i was at the mall yesterday... holy christmas hell. i can understand maybe having christmas displays... but christmas music needs to wait until after thanksgiving... along with santa claus. i was shocked to see him already there.

[runawayjim]

emerald square mall had santa up before halloween... that was a shocker to me.

[runawayjim]

It doesn't need to be below freezing, the rink has chillers under it. It just can't be bright sun and crazy warm or else there will be standing water on the surface of the ice. As long as it's near seasonable they should be fine.

[Cotuit]

do they rent skates?

[dgreco]

i'm talking santa for taking pics with kids... if that was there before halloween, they should be fined or soemthing.

if by "we" you mean "the people of providence" you might be pleased to know that the forestry department has been scouring the state looking for the greatest christmas tree EVAH! I seem to remember it going up around the first week of Dec. in the past.
