For me, tomorrow begins the official holiday season. I know, retailers think it starts the day after Halloween, but around here it's December 1st.

To kick off the Christmas season, I'll ask a question or two each week. Give it some thought and post an answer. You can post your answer in the comments or post the answer on your site and provide a link.

Be a good blog reader and participate.

* You have a beautiful 50 foot pine tree in your front yard that you are allowed to decorate with

only one color of lights. What color would you choose?

* Which of the following thee events would you most enjoy attending during the holiday season:

1) a stage production of Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL?

2) a choral concert of Handel's MESSIAH?

3) a performance of Tchaikovsky ballet THE NUTCRACKER?

I would decorate my tree in blue lights. As a towering, blinking tribute to ELVIS.

My event choice would be the stage play. I love Dickens! (more about that tomorrow)
