I know what you're thinking

It's still Christmas at our house, originally uploaded by toyfoto.

I figure, when I finally get off my ass and find the time to pack up the tree ornaments and haul the frasier fur (and for those of you worried about fire safety, this baby has shed remarkably few needles and the branches are still quite supple) to the curb, I'll replace the masthead, too.

I'd advise you check back again after Valentine's Day.
