So, I decided to get the Christmas tree and shit down from the attic in preparation for its post Halloween erection.

WTF. You erect the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. 

'zactly.

Tell me more about this Halloween erection.

Southlake

Tainted by Kwame.   Not too bad, though.

Bedford

What little of Bedford I've seen (the two annual barbecue competition venues ) I like, but I'm generally uncertain about the entire HEB area.

Ft. Worth is certainly the better half in this relationship, though.

I'd like to put it up around the first week-end of November but my girlfriend won't let me so I usually put it up the first week of December & I take it down sometime before February.

I like Christmas, I want my house to be decorated for more then a week.

We usually put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving...that is to say the weekend after the third Thursday in November.

If I am going to do all that damn work I at least want to have the thing up for awhile.

[PDH]

Valmy likes the scene in Austin - the snow on the ground, the frosty winter mornings...
