Traditional Monday Nite after Thanksgiving


The tree is up--watch the electric gauge whirl! The kids are already bouncing off the walls. This year we had to do some major rearranging because I simply must have the tree in front of the bay window facing the street. The piano, a table, two couches, and some really crusty fish stick remains later--waala!
A while back I was so surprised to find some bubble lights at a yard sale I was helping with. I bought them with memories of the ones we used to have as kids. They are so cool! Our tree is such a hodgepodge. I couldn't help but think as we were decorating how Martha Stewart would hang her head in shame.
John had ants in his pants wanting to get the train up last night but we were too tired--Peter put it together first thing this morning.

I love Christmas.
