Gone East: Tree Trimming

Tree Trimming

Halley, and her son Jackson, got their christmas tree.

Jackson and I had so much fun decorating the tree. We have some seriously goofy ornaments like my Barbies (classic Barbie in a bathing suit, Harley Davidson Barbie, 1960's Red Flame Barbie) along with Marilyn standing on the subway grate from "Some Like It Hot" and Scooby-do on a toboggan, the Dunkin Donuts white styrofoam cup with the orange and pink logo, together with the Dunkin Donuts Munchkins box on a little ribbon. I love the ones he's made in school over the years. We didn't have a top star ornament so we put his toddler-sized santa hat on top of the tree to crown it.

I'm really looking forward to the holidays back in Cambridge. Does Harvard Sq do a New Years thing? Or does everyone go over to First Night Boston.

I was at the first First Night in Boston. Me and Annette DiMeo. She got drunk and we ended up making out in Janet Pane's (former head of the MHS Band) Boston apartment.

Yeah, I know. I swapped saliva with a woman. I'm amazed they didn't kick me out of the homo club.

Anyway, it was such a small event then. Very small and new and we actually had a good time. Although I had to close my eyes and pretend she was Tommy Curtain when we smooched.

See, it doesn't surprise me that SHE had to get drunk.

BTW, I went to the first Boston First Night too. If I remember correctly I was with my sister Beth, and my then-girlfriend Mary-Cathy.
