Decorated for Christmas



We are finished. We have decorated both trees, put out all the decorations and the outside lights and filled the house with poinsettias. We are ready. Well, almost.

It took a bit of work last Sunday. As we are both not well, we would do a bit of work then take a rest to gather our strength. There was a lot of moaning and coughing going on.

I think our biggest Christmas wish is that we both feel better for the holiday. But there is still much to do.

Every year mom gives each of us some money, we buy what we want, wrap everything up and put it under the tree. On Christmas, we open everything and exclaim, “It is just what I wanted!” Well, we had not finished that shopping yet. We went to the big mall after dinner on Thursday. Michael had not even begun to spend his money. Before hitting the store, we stopped at Max's and he had a cocktail to help him enjoy the event even more. I swear we were actually in the store for less than 30-minutes. Done! He is quick!

The countdown to the holiday has begun. We are limping to the finish line!
