Birthday greetings for yesterday to Dutchess
There are a lot of Christmas trees in and around the WH. The two that get the most fuss are the main (inside) WH tree (the one from PA), and the huge one that is put on the Ellipse (outdoors behind the WH).
Both of those trees are selected by competition from tree growers around the country.
(Dare I mention the first clintoon Xmas when the decorations for the inside tree were a tad racy? :-))
I had a little interchange with Donna myself, but I had to leave. I hope others continued to give her a little buttkicking.
How cute! A GOP elephant b-d card.
It's very nice. I guess I won't get one this year because I didn't contribute - other than my vote.
I wasn't crying because I was hungry or uncomfortable........I was just mad. (She was right :)
I'm sure Jenna's spunk showed up later than in the delivery room. But I do wonder how they decided to name which one which name.
People were still razzing her hours after she disappeared.
Anyone is free to join me in battling the two moronic bashers there now..... :)
I knew I had read a sign that said it was decorated for Christmas when I was there last.
Thanks for the info, Luvya! You're a veritable font of information!
Thanks for hosting posting duties tonight. I likee.
I have been...
Been there done that!!!
Now they seem to have left...HE-He-HE!!!
I wish someone would ask them how they decided which one got her name. If Jenna was the more docile one in the delivery room, she was for sure faking. :-)
rock, paper, scissors? sorry, i'm just tired.
Sorry, I think I'm done with that thread for the night. I'd like to be somewhat sane for work tomorrow :)

Thank you, but I just came from a meeting and I am keyed up anyway. I need to relax before bedtime.

OK, snugs, inquiring minds want to know. Do you use the loose tea or do you (I'm afraid to ask) take part in the American Tea ceremony by using bags?
I view this thread everyday because I like the President.
It would be nice to be able to come here without feeling bad.
