...fo sho!!....awesome!
blechhhhh!
I kinda like nuts myself (please - nobody say TWSS!)
Fantastic!The sci-fi tree is up and running!
I loved how the tribbles fell down into the pile. Very cool.That's 27 years of ornament collecting. The Serenity and Kylo Ren are on their way and we'll find room for another Darth Vader, too. Oh, and Groot. Maybe next year we'll do the Disney tree (though much of it is Disney, now).

That wasn't Michael Caine, that was Albert Finney. But Michael Caine is my favorite actor!That is a wonderful tree! Love it!
Dana Jean I love your movie choices Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol and Michael Cain as Scrooge - perfect!
Wine eyes againThat wasn't Michael Caine, that was Albert Finney. But Michael Caine is my favorite actor!
Very nice!So, this year I decided to bake my Grandma's Pecan Cake recipe. It's a type of fruitcake, but only has candied cherries, candied pineapple, and a pound of chopped pecans. Grandma's Pecan Cake was the only fruitcake I have ever liked. This is the result of my first attempt. Gotta admit, I'm kinda proud of how it turned out.
......and just ignore that missing slice in the back. I had to sample a sliver.......you know, to make sure it was done

Wow - nice decorating job! - is it a dense cake? I actually love fruit cake or Christmas cake but it's so rich (I wonder if there is a Weight Watcher version of Christmas cake?)So, this year I decided to bake my Grandma's Pecan Cake recipe.

Thanks, Y'all! ♥Looks so tasty. Great job of baking!!
I'm guessing if I ate it, I'd gain five pounds - should last a long while over the holidays!Thanks!......you know me, gotta have a daisy whenever possible.
Yes ma'am, it is a very dense cake. I'm guessing it weighs over 5 pounds.....a little sliver is all I need at a time.
I gave half of it to my Mom to share with her friends. I'll share my half with some friends at the coffee shop on Wednesday. No way Munchkin and I can (or should) eat an entire cake!I'm guessing if I ate it, I'd gain five pounds - should last a long while over the holidays!
