There was always a string of cars riding through.

I drew the line in the sand quite some time ago. She can tell me to do something, but she can have nothing to say about how I do it. The inside is her domain. If I was in chage of the inside, the tree would stay up all year!<br />Hope you are doing well Jerry.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-38041454841748417212011-11-15T01:10:03.033-06:002011-11-15T01:10:03.033-06:00I have learned that there's a point where Chri...I have learned that there's a point where Christmas decorating is a little overdone.

I got a pass last year because I had just moved in - I haven't even started considering what I'm doing this year; I'm terrified to unpack those boxes of ornaments and tinsel and questionable lights. I have enthusiastic free labor from my teenager and undemanding visiting family, but I may just call the whole thing a wash, light some red and green candles, point to the naturally-occurring holly bush outside, and make sure my vocal holiday greetings are especially loud! :)Joan Q.

Its like "attack...retreat..." I can relate. Last year, I just had one tiny little tree on a table in my living room and decorated it with candy. ONLY candy. That way, I didn't even have to take down and put away any ornaments...just let everyone eat them away!!! I wonder if I can get away with that again this year....... The decorating part is kinda fun. Its the putting away after that's the real work.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544046700307093616noreply@blogger.com
