We should have won!

Friends gathered from house to house around good ole Livingston to judge; yes judge everyones' Xmas spirit. That's what it is all about right? Being the best and having the most? LOL Anyway, there were 3 categories... 1) Tree 2)Decorations 3)Drink. We had short notice and had to buy our tree, decorate and clean in two days when we were both working and tied up until late each evening. But I H-E-A-R-T our tree and I learned from Martha Stewart how to tie big bows out of pretty ribbon for the wreaths. Spiked Wassail and yummy snacks were prepared and the house was clean for our guests on Fri night. We did not win but I am pretty sure that is because we were first on the list and people forgot about the booze factor that was discussed in the beginning as the winner was our last stop and I am pretty sure that my candied pecans and pumpkin apple dip (thanks Brooke) beat out the grilled cheeses. I will admit that the hot buttered rum was tasty tho. So congrats Trav, Molly and Kurt. Maybe we did just save the best for last.
Notice George pouring his hot buttered rum on his wifes head.....

She was SUPER pissed. Can't blame her.
