Christmas Tree!

This year's Christmas tree is a little bit different, thanks to snow and freakin' cold temps that daunted even the most determined of the tree cutters (me and Dad.)
So, with a little creativity and Charlie Brown Spirit, here is my solution.

Oh Sylvia

I just finished reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and can make an excellent case for skipping the introductions that are mostly babble. The intro compared The Bell Jar to The Catcher in the Rye, (and we all know my thoughts on that piece of work), and said they were twins. Thank goodness I didn't let that stop me because I really enjoyed The Bell Jar. It is in no way the twin of that other book because A: something happens in The Bell Jar, B: it's well written, and C: it was written for different generations and yet it effected me without the need of any outside validation or justification. If the two books are at all related, Catcher is a sad little step child to The Bell Jar.
