...and the next day it hit 60 degrees Fahrenheit in Brooklyn - dammed global warming!

Still, I've been on my own since I was 16 (beat that, Krozi! ) and I've never had a Christmas tree since I moved out.

So here's the "before" pic; We'll be modding the crap out of it with my girl! What do you guys think - rims, M-tech? What kind of lights? LEDs?

LEDs are in fact the way to go now, but they are roughly twice the price of regular lights.

Maybe John will be running a christmas special.

Feels good to finally have some Holiday spirit, doesn't it?

Happy Holidays, Phi!


Now, who's gonna put some KW's under my tree?
