Here Comes Christmas! |

Well, yesterday my daughter and son-in-law (we share a house) |
|
got out the Christmas tree from the attic and set it up and |
|
plugged in the lights. Today we are going to decorate it. They |
|
rearranged the furniture and all that stuff so it would fit in |
|
the living room. The halloween and fall decor was stored away |
|
until next year. I'm not a fan of having the tree around for |
|
the whole month of December but they are so I've been putting up |
|
with it for 13 Christmases. I should be used to it by now, but |
|
I'm always glad with January first comes and we put everything |
|
away. |

Spent yesterday afternoon putting up the outdoor decorations. We |
|
have the only outside nativity scene in the neighborhood. |

I have just finished putting up my Christmas decorations, vase, |
|
and wreath. Because I am living alone now, I can wait until |
|
December 23rd to put up my little tree, just in time for my |
|
offspring to enjoy it when they come visit, and then I take it |
|
down December 26th. I leave a few decorative things out for New |
|
Year's though, because the holiday season isn't over yet. |

I�m a dogged traditionalist: my Christmas decorations go up on |
|
Christmas Eve. Normally I would bring in my potted Christmas |
|
tree from the garden then, but after five good years it couldn�t |
|
cope with the summer heat and drought - it�s alive, but it just |
|
looks too ropey to be festive. I�ll go looking for another, but |
|
I won�t bring it in till the proper day. When I was a child it |
|
used to be considered unlucky by everyone to bring the tree in |
|
before Christmas Eve; now everybody but me has it decorated from |
|
the beginning of Advent if not earlier, and by Boxing Day most |
|
of them are so sick of the sight of it they strip off the |
|
decorations and put them away! But I love bringing in the tree |
|
on Christmas Eve and fixing the beeswax candles on to it. It |
|
makes that day special. |
