[what's up]

This is the eighth time I've given this tour of the holiday decorations

I can't believe it!

I wish it was the first and we still had 7 to go.

Thanks for the Dose. I love the red, white and blue theme this year. Could be the last time, for at least 4 years, that we hear of a patriotic red, white and blue theme on any holiday at the WH...shudder, shudder.

Thank you, Jonny, for all the wonderful pictures of the
White House Christmas for the year. I think they outdid
themselves this time...the *sniff* last time!

Got my White House Christmas card the other day. I will
cherish it...though i know a million of them are sent! LOL!

Thank you for so many beautiful pictures of Mrs Bush. She looks lovely in red. The White House looks wonderful.

Condi is certainly refined, and Hillary is not. I’m Looking forward to seeing the next Jib Job cartoon on these picks, because I could use a laugh about now.

THANK YOU for posting this beautiful Christmas DOSE — our First Lady and her red-white-blue decorations are absolutely stunning!

I plan to enjoy every moment of this year’s White House Christmas celebrations with our beloved First Couple . . . The next 4 years are going to be grim indeed!

HEADS UP . . .

This evening, THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY WILL LIGHT THE NATIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE (DURING THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PAGEANT).

This morning, Dana Perino indicated that the Pageant would begin at 5 PM. However, CSpan 2 indicates that their coverage will begin at 5:30 PM. I plan to set the recorder for 5 PM (CSpan NEVER publishes the correct time for a Bush-related event)!

Thanks, Deb. I will record it also. I’ll have to re-run it for the upcoming four years.

Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson selected artist Dianne Isakson to decorate the State's ornament for the 2008 White House Christmas Tree

A bit of nepotism going on there? Regardless, it's a lovely ornament!

Have just finished reading the 2 books about that Lady of the Angels school fire back in 1958

Was that in Huntsville?

[SuziQ]

Thanks for the heads-up!

Beautiful pictures. I am really going to miss Laura. The First Lady transition is really going to be a tough one to deal with.

Thank you Deb! I guess I’ll just try the TV. What stations?...if you know....

[DrDeb]

CSpan2 . . . I doubt the cables will carry it.

Thanks, Deb!

Thinking of you, Eleanor. Little worried with no update last night, but you must be exhausted. Take care and fill us in when you can.
