Today was a busy day at home. I cleaned enough space to set up the tree and some ornaments, got the tree down and set up; the stand was still covered from last year (it's a CD wooden box), and decorated the tree.
Then we made supper together and after supper was over I wrapped gifts for 2-3 more parcels. Two at least going to one house as the gifts are too bulky for one parcel. While Jake was starting to wash the dishes I then opened up Ted and Liza's parcel and Tammy's so those gifts were the first to go onto our newly decorated tree. It is different this year; I still never found all the decorations that were lost 2 years ago, but I "found" some silver bows--so I used them on the tree--those are new this year, and also put on the beautiful snowflake with blue ribbon that came in Tammy's parcel from Texas. Christmas will be here before we know it!
