What a great holiday weekend.  Drove through Sunnyvale on Friday night.  Boy you people know how to decorate.  I got the lights up on the roof and only had to go back up twice to fix them.  And I didn't fall off.  Saturday night after dinner with a big group at Classic Burger it was the walk through the lights in Vasona Park in Los Gatos.  My daughter and I carried portable speakers so we could have Christmas music playing wherever we went.  And it wasn't too cold.  Sunday after church we went to Mountain Charlie's Tree Farm (about a mile from our house) and found a tree right away.  Then we actually got up up and mostly straight.  Tonight we put the lights on that.  Whew.  Had to come to school to get some rest.  This morning the administrators hosted a breakfast burrito bar for the staff in recognition of Spartan Spirit tickets.
