Christmas Tree -upside down!

Check it out! This is our tree. We got it on Sunday and it was really cold when we picked it from the Christmas tree lot that usually is a parking lot. So once inside we realized how big the tree really was. It's even taller than Ben! I put the green pickle on the tree Robyn (last - following the old German tradition).
Can you see it on the pic? Of course our tree is upside down. . That way you don't need as much space and you are able to put presents under the tree. It's an old Swiss tradition to hang your tree from the ceiling upside down. http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72376.asp

I had a job interview 3 weeks ago and they told me they would get back to me in the middle of December. That means this week. I check my email every few hours and make sure the phone is charged... waiting... then yesterday the phone rang. A name I have never seen appeared on the phone. My immediate though.. the HR lady is calling me. But no, just another chilies call. (Our phone number is very similar to Chilis Restaurant so I get at least 1 Chilli call a day.) I am knitting socks for my brother. It was his Christmas wish. Last night I finished the tricky part of the sock - the heel. Now I am a sockxpert. :) A sock expert. So far I have knitted: 1 pair of socks, 1 pair of knee socks, a jacket, gloves (with fingers), 2 hats, a bikini. Time to get a job!

It's -9C today but sunny. Ben is working like crazy so I will probably have to drive up to his hotel where he is staying at to bring him a couple of suits for his presentations to come. I am really proud of him - he is doing an amazing job at work. He is not reading the blog so theoretically I could say whatever I wanted :)
