You can also be thankful that the Rockefeller tree is real. I think. The scaffolding was just to put up the ornaments. I think. But just go ahead and think that, OK?! And I brought my family Candy Cane Joe-Joes. I am now the favorite daughter. AND, my sister thinks you're awesome. Apparently the way to her heart is to randomly add her on Facebook.
