Unbelievable! I've barely swallowed the last leftover Halloween chocolate bar and the Family is pestering me to get the Christmas tree up! Nobody else wants to actually work on the tree; but how can they check for gifts in their names if there's no tree to put the gifts under? Don't get me wrong, we all love to bask in the warm glow of the Christmas Season; I mean, who doesn't enjoy the flickering of those beautiful blinking lights surrounded by the background music of Christmas and the memories of those beautiful hand made ornaments that the kids made as Children?
Yes indeed, everybody wants to bring over their Friends and point out how amazingly talented they were; not to mention the cute annual Santa photos displayed throughout... Just one problem; nobody wants to help haul out the three huge boxes from the garage which contain: the floor skirt - the tree - the ornaments - the lights - the stockings - the hooks - the snow spray - the candles (one for every window and one for every foot of the 3o foot driveway) and of course the 25 foot faux tree branches with lights and bows, that adorn our 30 foot staircase. (Lined leather work gloves required for installation unless you're fond of the bloody scratches incurred up and down both arms while installing!)
Ahhhhh, Christmas... We just can't wait for Christmas! May All Enjoy the True Spirit of the Season, and a Safe and Happy Holiday to All!
