I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday. I have to share with you my best compliment to date on my Christmas decorations. We had some new neighbors move into our neighborhood and as I was passing their house, the lady of the house was getting the mail. I stopped to say hello, introduce myself, and welcome her to the neighborhood. She said, "Diamond, I have to tell you that my two year old nephew has been staying with us for the past couple of days and last night I walked into his room and he was at the window staring out. When I walked up to him, he said `Look, Aunt Paula.Santa's House." I popped. If you don't know by now, I am the Clark Griswald (Christmas Vacation), along with Mick Foley, of Christmas decorations. My house is lit up like a landing pad with reindeer running all over the place. OK, they're not running, but their heads move back and forth. I've got carolers, icicles, as tacky as I am allowed to be by Kimberly's standards. Of course, the plastic "Old School" reindeer is still out in the backyard with an assortment of colorful trees. I've tried to take pictures for the site, but film just doesn't do it justice.
On a mediocore TV Quiz show here in the UK called "Fifteen to One" where 15 contestants answer questions until there is only one left at the end, a wrestling related question popped up which went: "Chyna, spelt C-H-Y-N-A, had a best selling autobiography entitled 'If They Only Knew'. She is famous in which sport, more populary known as sports entertainment.?"
The contestant answered "Gymnastics"
This was surprising that for a quiz show more for the upper class they asked a wrestling themed question which in the UK, the upper classes look down on.
