December 27th. National Fruitcake day!
Is that the day everyone throws their Christmas fruitcake into the fireplace?
Posted by AdrienneMorgan (Member # 1046) on :
It just so happens I really like fruitcake......
And no one ever sends me one

December is..... warm!
Broke the record here today in the low 60's. Hey, it's Wisconsin folks, imagine that!
I witnessed a coatless man and woman pushing a stroller this afternoon... under the new downtown Christmas decorations. You may have coatless people in your community as well but today it was by choice. (it will get colder, so get rid of your old coat... give it to a coatless person)

worked today with the doors open, and driving home after work, guys were on the golf course wearing shorts. Maybe this really isn't december.
