Hello,
I helped Leroy bring the boxes down
from the attic. I then went off to the store to do a little shopping. That great
Leroy got the artificial tree together without my help, amazing! He also put on
the lights and the gold garland. I was happy to have him do all these tasks.
Unlike some people, I am not so excited about putting up the tree. Do you think
it was because the tree did not come in my house until Christmas Eve? Certainly
the idea of putting it up on Thanksgiving does not fit my concept of what is
proper. Plus we leave the Christmas decorations up until the end of the
Christmas season which is on January 6th.
I did help put on the ornaments. We are
sure now that at the end of the season we will eliminate some of them that are
rather tired. There are plenty of them so none will be missed. Many of these
were gifts so putting on the tree is a little trip down memory lane.
There are a number of things that we
set around the house and we put out all of them. Some of those also need to go.
But since we stored them we are using them this year.
Last year, Leroy insisted that we must
get new lights. I was not so convinced. At the mark down after Christmas we did
buy some and I am glad we did. They look nice.
Our church wanted a picture of us. We
did not have anything recent and we are not good at taking selfies. Our
downstairs friends helped us. I thought it was a very good result. Amazing what
people can do when they know what they are doing.
