Ho Ho Ho!
Morning Betty.. I will be an "observer" as I don't have cable & no access to HGTV.. but I have heard several people brag about it over at ATRW
Pastrycook Ugo Mignone brushes a Christmas crib entirely made of chocolate in a cake workshop in Naples, southern Italy, November 26, 2004. Some twenty Neapolitan pastry chefs, using 3,000 kilos of chocolate, have been working around the clock to create the world's largest chocolate nativity scene to be unveiled on December 4 in a Christmas fair in Naples. Picture taken November 26.
I keep my TV on HGTV most of the time when it isn't on QVC! I have been watching the Christmas specials all weekend over and over! Love them! Food TV is also having some specials, only they make me hungry! :-)
HGTV, my favorite along with QVC and Food Network.
Do you girls have a ping list?
Love Christmas, don't know how it will be this year. But I love decorating!!
FYI:
AT THE START of 2003, an impressive effort to govern globalization got underway: The international diamond trade, which had fueled civil wars and international crime, became subject to a regulatory system backed by the United Nations and known as the Kimberley Process. An unlikely alliance of governments, the diamond industry and constructive nongovernmental organizations united behind two simple ideas: Freshly mined diamonds should be sealed in registered containers that certify their country of origin, and diamond importers should not accept unregistered gems that might profit insurgents or criminals. Diamonds from conflict areas have sustained guerrillas in Liberia, Congo, Angola and Sierra Leone; they are thought to form part of terrorist financial networks.
