[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 222494, member: 2211"] [FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]Back "in the day", whenever that was, I could bake 3 dz cookies, take down all my every day decor and replace it with all my holiday decorations, deck the halls, the tree and everything that needed decking, sing along with the christmas carols, and still get a dinner on the table.
