I am six foot two with eyes of blue;
the ladies say they smolder. 😉

Is that enough info? lol

Seriously though, I am making my ornament in a manner that is special to me and my daughter. That way the gift is personal and special in a way that isn't possible with only knowing a few bullet points about a stranger. I might be breaking tradition on this, but my gift is much more real and special because of it...

Throat singing!

YouTube - Siberian throat singing

To me it's like a constipated hoe down.

Wow...I'll never view the movie, Deliverance, the same way ever again!

This is my first year, but I don't believe there have been rules or traditions in the past. The ornament sounds perfect.

What are some things that describe you responsible, compromising, give people the benefit of the doubt, generous, financially conservative, enjoy humor, conservationist, socially liberal, strong-willed, blunt, lazy when it comes to housework and the like. :blush:
What kind of music do you like Love to go to outdoor concerts. I like to mix the music up but mostly classic rock. Grew up with the Beatles and saw them in concert in the 60s...:wub: .. Not a fan of rap though.
Love SoWal and this message board and all the things I learn on it! Spend a fair amount of time reading posts and articles presented in the Politics and Current Events forum.

Nice style philosophy!
