Tis The Season

Today's the day to get into the Holiday Spirit.

Right.

Got a great deal on a tree. For once, no lights to deal with. Well, that's not so true. I'll need to add a little color to the clear lights. Clear lights are just fine for other people's trees, my Christmas tree NEEDS colorful lights!

I 've never put a tree up this early. Usually after Thanksgiving. This year things are just so depressing--- I live in Michigan and work in the auto industry---enough said on that right now, so I'm trying to rise above the worry and surprise the girls when they come out for Thanksgiving dinner. Good traditional food and cheery decorations, I'm really trying to do my part. But, damn, it's so hard.

2 years ago I sat in the living room and watched my beautifully decorated tree, up for only 3 days, tumble over before my eyes. I picked everything up, cursed it out, put it back in boxes, took it upstairs and put it all away till now. Needless to say I trashed that bad boy tree........thus the new one.

Richie's on the way to the mid-way meeting point for the weekend pickup. G's spending the weekend and hopefully, together we can jazz this joint up. Wish us luck. If I can figure out the posting of pics here, I'll show off tomorrow.

Well -- good for you!

Looks like you also got your FIRST Spam :)

Mom/I just discussed putting the tree right after Thanksgiving this year.

I'm sure the girls will be surprised and G will be more than happy to help out. *fingers crossed*

Photos aren't so hard to upload. Shoot me an e-mail if you need help.

Rawk on. ;)

XOXO

Oh, Hey! Spam! Congrats!!

I'm more in the spirit this year than last. We've already got the tree up and things in the house feel festive.

I'm with Debra- post some pics when you learn how. Photo entry's are all the rage these days ;)
