Day 2107 - Christmas Prep... or NOT!
Greetings, Bloggy Christmas Trimmers!
Here's a photo of my son in Maine with makeshift snow boots on (also known as plastic grocery bags).
I really wanted to get the tree up this past weekend, and Charlie set it up Sunday night. Thank you, Charlie!
Of course, I haven't put ANYTHING on it. Maybe I'll be motivated tonight to get the lights on... I always put the lights on first, and they are the most difficult part of the decorating process because I like to nest them deeply within the branches.
It's all downhill from there!
Several YEARS ago I bought a bunch of artificial greenery with a nice, red bow that comes with it. It's a mailbox decorating thing I think.
Do you think that THIS year I might actually put it ON the mailbox?
Only time will tell, but I doubt it.

Karen, thankful for hint last Thurs about plastic for boots--Eric had no shoes on Thurs due to a deposit made early Thurs a.m. in one of his shoes by a very drunk person (not Eric or fam)--so Eric enjoyed Liam and Alyssa's first snow outside with the plastic bag booties.
I just won TWO decorated trees, and Mary Ann one, at the Chamber of Commerce Festival of Trees--we bought tickets and put them in slots for trees we wanted. I am taking the gorgeous gold decked Oxford Casino tree, which includes a $250 gift certificate for brunch at Dockside, Poland Springs-- I am giving the second (Servicemaster tree -forget how it was decorated but know it was pretty)-to brother Doug--hope he'll take my tree home for me in exchange!
Mary Ann won the Hannaford tree but we don't know if any gift is attached. (The WalMart tree had over $200 of gift certificates (not just WalMart) attached!) I put tickets on about 7 trees but my favorite was the Oxford Casino. I think I used about 10 tix for it ($10)
I only planned to have a "boxwood" table tree this year, not a larger tree--so now have a fancy albeit artificial tree (my first!) It's a bit less than 6 ft so good fit (my ceiling is only 7 ft).

Nancy looked up the Advent date, and the reason it works is that Sundays are not included! How are you going to get Savi not to open a little window on Sundays?
Evan and Eric with booties--how cute!
