I seem to be leaning that way. It's uh - very festive in here.

So my day started with insomnia at 4am. Had to be up by 4:30 or so anyway, so no big deal. Couple of pictures of the eclipse, and on my way to the Police Department to help close streets for today's parade. Only pissed off one guy with the road closure- I almost feel cheated.

Done in time to get to work before the show. Always a plus. Show went pretty well.

Tired. Home now. TV time!

So we got our tree. We had it delivered after the car we were using to transport it got totaled in the intersection outside the lot. The tree actually stayed securely on the roof - which is more than I can say for my glasses, which caused undo panic when my first post-accident words were, "I can't see."

Fortunately, the other car just clipped the front drivers side of the car. I say fortunately because if the timing were off a bit more they would have T-boned the passenger side of my car where Lisa and my 5-month pregnant niece were. My knee's a bit banged up from hitting the dashboard, but things could have been a whole lot worse, so for that I am grateful. The folks at Todd's Tree's were awesome and got us all safely out of our car before the police, fire, and paramedics arrived on the scene.

This wasn't really how I planned to spend the day, but I sure have a lot of gratitude for the people I love and the strangers who stepped in to help out.

OMG! Chris, I'm glad you're all ok!

As much as I love the holidays, it makes bad things that happen everyday even more of a shock to me. It's like when someone gets hurt at Disneyland.

Nothing bad should happen at Disneyland or durring the holidays!

Wow, glad to hear you're all okay.

You need to go get a Hot Wheels car, stomp on it a few times and hang it from the tree that tree as an ornament.

Glad to hear that you all came through relatively unscathed (well, except for the car). The photo is pretty amazing.

Kudos to Todd's Trees and strangers for helping you all out.

Now, the burning question is, what will the new car be?

Love Moonie's idea for a new ornament to commemorate the tree (and car).

Another Christmas-related tragedy thankfully averted. And good news about the impending relative.
