The house is very peaceful today. Tomorrow there will be others occupying our space. Our children are planning and doing the holiday meal. We get to enjoy Christmas Eve without the stress of food preparations for a large group. A few more snippets of home at Christmastime.
With Texas family here Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the days before Christmas have really flown by. We squeezed in Starbucks, Abandoned Antiques, and Five Below on Friday afternoon. Saturday was a pizza party and Dirty Santa fun time.
Placing bits of Christmas decor here and there around the house is very satisfying to me. It probably drives my husband crazy.
It's been fun to pull out dear familiar objects from the Christmas boxes. Decorating this time of the year is especially pleasurable.
Yipes! I didn't realize how I've been neglecting my blog during December. I didn't get my trees up until several days after Thanksgiving and have been playing catchup with decorating. This year it was our oldest son Jo who came to our rescue. He climbed up into the attic to bring the tree containers down. Then he assembled both trees for me. He returned later with his son Lucas to help with stringing the lights and attaching the Hallmark ornaments that move. Corkey has had health issues recently and was unable to assist this time around. If not for others pitching in every year I would not have these lovely trees.
