I bought NO candy this year. This is a first. My mom is gaining weight so I know she can't resist candy. Better to not even tempt her. Besides, I am on a downhill trend with trying to drop some more weight, so I'm not needing the calories. And hubby is diabetic so no tempting for him either.

I think the part I liked best today was the M*A*S*H trivia. When I was much younger I loved hating that smug man!
