Decorating For Christmas

I'm trying to "decorate" for the holidays. Not much room to decorate in the house here. So thought I would try decorating the blog. I'm not much in the Christmas Spirit - and hoping this will help a little.

So, how does it look?

And is the Picasa slide show at the very bottom working?

Thanks to anyone who can help me here - my dial up is slow enough that the page does not always load fully.

And please pardon my typos - my keyboard is sticking all over and sometimes I miss the typo. Thanks!
