GETTING STARTED ON CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS





In a burst of activity late this afternoon, I began to decorate the inside of the house for Christmas. Tom decorated outside more than a week ago, because, once the neighbors have theirs up, it's go for him. The tree is an over-decorated Charlie Brownish type, but the decorations completely obliterate any trace of the Charlie Brown effect.

LAZY BLOGGING DAY

 

However, I've been rather busy moving my wee Christmas tree to its cozy corner in the closet where it will hibernate until next year, and I put my Carnival decorations in place.

 

My Crêche is still on display, because my mother made the figures for me in her ceramics class, and I wrap them carefully before I put them away, which takes time.

I also shopped for Grandpère's Christmas presents a little late, because we do not usually exchange gifts, but he blindsided me with a gift card this year, so I had return the favor.  My son gave GP winter pajamas with only the pants, but he likes pajamas with tops, so I purchased long sleeved T-shirts in colors that matched the pajama pants, which pleased him very much.  I also bought him a new pair of slippers, because his were wearing out.
