Last week I wrote these lines: “I had not looked forward to the job. In no way had I wanted to go through all the bother. But the Christmas spirit finally kicked in, I did it! Oh, and it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be to put up the tree.” Then I posted a picture brazenly lifted borrowed from the Internet of a pine air freshener. It didn’t take long for the usual suspects to get on my case over that. And I thought it would be funny like this pic is funny. Don’t you agree that this one is funny cute?
We lost our kitty, Midnight, this year. So we knew it would not be fun to put up a big tree with shiny temptations ornaments. Also come Christmas Day there would be two of us to share the day. So out came Granny’s (Sylvia’s mom) tree. It’s nice . . . at least I think it is.
This was taken at night using flash. Usually a walk past the tree after the sun has set looks more like this:
The Christmas spirit is alive and well and illumines the dark places. I’m ready to celebrate Christ’s birth. Are you?
I’m ready, I sure like your tree, and I came over to say Merry Christmas. 🙂
Thanks Rosey! And a Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😀
Oh oh oh, merry Christmas.
And a merry Christmas to you and yours my friend. You’ll see it before we will. :up:
Your tree is certainly no fuss, no mess. As scroogy as I am, I think if I went to the bother of some kind of tree I’d go just a teensy big bigger. I guess I do have some internal sense of personal holiday standards, after all. :ha:
A blessed and merry Christmas to you two!
Mom [in-law] made it, so we’re happy to have it as a reminder of when she was with us. Anyone who know you is well aware of the fact that you do have standards. 🙂
Sylvia joins me in wishing you and Om a very merry and blessed Christmas.
Yes, we are ready! There will be but two of us here, too. But aren’t we blessed, Chuck, to have that “best friend” with which to celebrate?
Merry Christmas to the two of you! :up:
Most fortunate indeed Vanilla. And blessed beyond measure. Sylvia joins me in wishing you and JoAnn a very Merry Christmas. :frolic: :frolic:
