THE 15TH DAY OF THE 12TH MONTH OF THE YEAR OF THE CAMELIA

OK.  I'm fixin to get ready to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Now don't get all tingly inside because it's not yet.

Not yet, because I still need to contribute my share to the national debt and finish my shopping.  But I am getting warmed up to it.

Last weekend, Sheri pulled together this year's tree and I took care of the outside festival on the house.  The tree is what I think is the most unique of all.  She has collected White house ornaments since they first started selling them in 1981.  The tree is completely covered with these ornaments and lights.  Pretty nice and certainly different.

So this year because we don't have a bunch of crumb crunchers running around, we decided to downsize.  A good thing because that artificial tall thing in the attic is getting pretty heavy to haul down the stairs and half of the pre-wired lights don't work.  This one is smaller and just fine.  I can't put the ornaments on it anyway, cause you just know each piece will go in the wrong place.  So best to retreat to a chair in the corner and turn  on the game whilst all that decorating is going on .  Domestic bliss and all that stuff don't you know.  We will still probably get enough stuff under the smaller tree to created the need for a second mortgage just to pay for it all.  

But we all know it is better to get than to receive.  Er, maybe that's backwards or something's not right.  Oh well you get the drift. 

Just preparin!


Nice job Sheri! And thank you.
