Ho Ho Ho

There are a few things I really like about the holiday season. One of them is listening to this song on repeat, although semi depressing for a Christmas song, it is beautiful. I also REALLY enjoy when Bret and I exchange gifts. Here is a little sampling of things we have given to each other in years past:

2007
Bret for Whitney: a small branch like structure and an alarm clock
Whitney for Bret: socks and a gift certificate to a strange grocery store

2006
Bret for Whitney: a harmonica
Whitney for Bret: a cassette tape called "5 minute mysteries"

2005
We were broken up

2004
Bret for Whitney: a thermal shirt
Whitney for Bret: a pair of school shoes

The gifts Bret has given almost top the year that Lindsay gave me a frozen dessert cake for christmas (does anyone else remember Vienetta? I loved that stuff).

The picture is from Christmas 2007. This year our tree is the previously mentioned branch sculpture.

I loved Viennetta! The little swirly lasagne-like layers! I remember thinking it was very posh as far as ice cream went. The only downside was that it melted into a puddle of erstwhile glory in like 5 seconds.

Whit, you crack me up! I vote for a photo of the branch-o-tree!

Love, Tianne

That song is too melancholy for me, but you and Surfer Stevens share one thing in common...you each apparently cut your own hair. It must be a 20's thing.

I forgot to mention, you're adorable..SS looks kind of lost.
