Christmas tree trimming

[Guest guest]

I usually always trim the tree all by myself with Christmas music

playing. It's rarely cold here when it's time to put the tree up, or

I would have some wassail or hot chocolate brewing too. Usually the

air conditioner is still running

 

It takes me 3 whole days to put the tree up, lights and all the

ornaments on. It takes another 3 days to take it all down.

 

I have a lot of ornaments...some I've made, some I've received in

swaps through quilting or cross-stitch; many have been given to me by

friends and family and I've purchased others, of course.

 

The last tree we had I had room to put on more ornaments, but now we

have a tree which was given to us, it is smaller and I get only most

of the ornaments on.

Let's see... I started putting the tree up the day before Thanksgiving and

finally got it up and all the lights on Thanksgiving evening. However, the

ornaments and other decorations are still waiting patiently in their boxes

for me to get the energy to put them up! I'm seriously thinking I need a

pre-lit tree...

I am not decorating for christmas this year. Not much, anyway. We will be

going to Oregon to see our daughter and sil and grandchildren for two weeks in

december. We will get home for christmas, but we will be going to other dd's

house for our christmas celebration and dinnner so it doesn't seen worthwhile

for just the two of us for just a few days. I am trying to freecycle a 18 inch

tree so we can have something, but I am not going to go through the four days it

takes to get everything out and look at it a couple times before spending four

days getting it all put back.

I am breaking out my holiday clothes this weekend, though.
