HUBBY HAD LIVING ROOM ALL TIDIED UP---THEN WE DECIDED TO GET OUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE----WHAT A MESS IT IS NOW--WOW. IN THE 21 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN COMING TO TEXAS IN THE WINTER WE HAVE AMASSED A LOT OF STUFF. MUCH OF IT CHRISTMAS STUFF. WE ARE ON OUR THIRD TREE---THIS ONE A 4FOOT WHITE ONE WITH THE LIGHTS ALREADY ATTACHED----SO I HAVE A ZILLION STRINGS OF LIGHTS NO LONGER USED--YEARS AGO I STARTED PUTTING SMALL PICTURES OF THE 7 GRAND KIDS IN LITTLE GOLD COLORED FRAMES---THEN FOUND SOME CUTE FANCIER FRAMES ON SALE AND BOUGHT UP A DOZEN OF THEM (ONLY TWO OF THOSE EVER GOT PICTURES PUT IN).AND GARLANDS, HAVE MILES OF SILVER STUFF AND GREEN FAKE STUFF AND BEADS--OH MY. JERRY KEPT SAYING WE NEED TO TAKE THIS STUFF BACK AND GIVE IT TO THE KIDS OR THROW IT OUT. AFTER I PUT THE TREE TOGETHER AND MADE A NICE MESS WITH ALL THE OTHER STUFF WE DECIDED TO LET IT ALL SIT AND GO TO DENNY'S FOR SUPPER----AND WE DID!!

Oh thats what I say Barb just go eat. I'm a terrible scrooge I got rid of all my Christmas decorations. No little ones here and they don't live near. We did help decorate the tree at Church and that was fun with snacks and conversation afterwards.

Well I don't have any small children, but I do have my grandkids, and everyone is at my house for Christmas Eve dinner, and gift opening. I do put up a nice tree, but no more of the decorations around the house or at the windows, those days are gone for me. Hope you have a great Christmas and New year.
