It had to be done. I had lights that hadn’t been used since 1998. Yeah. 1998. In 1999, four weeks before Christmas, I fell and dislocated my thumb. I had this stupid cast on. I could hardly knit, let alone put lights on the tree. I was depressed as hell. And, then, there is was. My salvation. An artificial tree with lights! Alleluia! There will be Christmas after all. I bought that tree and never looked at real trees again.
So. Where was I? I filled an enormous box to overflowing with lights. By the time we had gone through everything, the back of the van was full. I was a little nervous at first. Sweetums kept going back and forth on the lights. He loves to decorate the outside. He really does a good job. When you cross the little bridge and look over the creek, you will see our deck all decked out. Once again, I digress. There are now a decent number of decorations about and the tree is once again overladen with ornaments. It looks good. I’m happy.
One more thing. Last year, I could not find my singing snowmen. Well I found them. All five are set up on the counter. Will Santa, aka my grandson, bring me another this year?
Wait! Wait! Where is my Minnie Mouse tree topper???
