Tree's up!

Tree probably won't go up this year because we are spending Christmas with the in-laws.

We'll leave before Christmas Eve and won't get back until after New Year's.

What's the sense in decorating?

And yes, I might have some Christmas "Bah-Humbug" going.

Some of that white crap fell out of the sky today. I was enjoying 50º+ temps. Now where in the 20's with flurries.

All this said, the tree looks nice, Rhonda.

I hear you. Since my daughter is off at college, it is just me and my husband here for most of the holidays. I could have just said, let's not do it, but my daughter would have been disappointed and this is the one time of the year that the family comes to our house for dinner on Christmas day. Now that my dad is gone and my father-in-law is gone, just last month, the gathering is pretty small. I will be just my mom, mom-in-law, maybe sister-in-law, daughter, husband, and me. I used to put up tons of decorations, lights, several trees, the whole nine yards, but this year it will be one tree and hopefully a few lights on the big holly just beside the door.

The holidays seem to lose a little sparkle as the kids get older. I am grateful that I do not have to shop for toys anymore.
