~waves~ to Bev
Good morning all,have a great week

Bev, how do you put hooks on pinecones?

Wyld, your directions were so hilarious. But instead of eggnog, I'll stick to my gatorade.

The tree is tiny, like me... 5 feet.I never knew to do the lights first.

Thanks to everyone who offered ideas and suggestions.

Arnie, when my 2 oldest kids were little, they each has a miniature menorah from Israel... but once the store where I bought them closed, I was never able again to find the mini candles for them. Suffice it to say, little Michael doesn't have his own menorah.

No matter how hard I tried to remember, I'd forget one night or another to light the main menorah. Eventually, I stopped buying candles for the large one altogether.

We used to invite our neighbors' kids for the candle-lighting and gift exchange. The kids loved the chocolate gelt and dreidles. Now the kids are grown and aren't interested. At least they haven't been in years and years. I wonder what they'd do if I attempted to relive the old days and go out and buy all that stuff again... just my kids of course, not the neighbors' anymore, except maybe their 3 littlest ones.

Thanks, Arnie.... by telling everyone this, I just made a decision to go to the store and stock up on gold-gelt and dreidles!

As for the latkes, they always gave me indigestion and stunk up the house for days... worse than cooking fish! Maybe blintzes... cherry, with sour cream.

I know it's not morning Here or there, but I just noticed I got asked a question and if I wait till morning I would forget to answer it, having had slept <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Terry, you don't put hooks on to pine cones, tie a small legnth of Cotton around the bottom, and hang it that way.

Hope you are all having fun with you decorating.
