this is your last look at it. we hope the kids have seen it. it really is beautiful though if you look at it. it was also, this season was you are taking a little too long, joe. it s good but it gets painful. the joke ended about 30 seconds ago. anyhow, the tree comes down today. it has been a long time coming for mariah bell. she won the u.s. women s skating title. she s the oldest u.s. woman national champion in 95 years.
