Happy Chrismakwanzadan, believers!
I'm aaaaalmost done decorating. I'm at my brother's house for a few days helping with theirs.
At my place I have to string up outdoor lights, and put boxes back in storage.

All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Re: Merry Christmas 2025
Murf - Oh, yes, the girls absolutely love it!
It's funny, last week they asked me why we didn't put the tree up yet, as my wife usually has the tree up by Dec 1st, and I told them that she's been busy with work, but that we would do it on the weekend. They still didn't know that we were going to get a real tree for them.
We ordered the tree stand online and it arrived last Thurs. We were going to bring the kids with us to get the tree on Sat. but we wanted to surprise them. So on Fri. morning I went to pick it up, and Tomasso, one of my employees, accompanied me. I drove over a hour to get there and when we arrived they didn't have any large trees left. We wanted to get a tree that was at least 8 feet tall, but the only trees the guy had were about 5 feet, but he recommended another tree lot that was about a hour away. I appreciated his honesty, as most people wouldn't send you to their competition, but he knew that I wanted the tree for my kids. So I looked up the address on my phone, and we drove even further for another hour and when we got there we found the perfect tree for a good price. Thankfully I was driving the van, because there's no way it would have fit in the car.
After we got back here and we got the tree inside, we struggled to set it up, and if Tomasso wasn't here to help then I probably wouldn't have got it done in time. When my wife and the kids got home they were surprised by it, and the girls ran straight to it. Oh, yeah, you were right about the scent Murf, I observed the kids as they were looking at the tree, and I saw Sam smelling at it, and she had a peaceful look experiencing that aroma for the first time.
My wife and kids decorated the tree on Sat. while I was out getting some supplies, and they decorated it beautifully. It was a pain obtaining, and setting up the tree, but when I saw their faces I knew it was worth it.
Andy - We are looking forward to it!
