And although we have a tree
It's still not done up pretty....
December is such a busy month. We got our tree last Saturday afternoon, and I put the lights on it that night, but not a single ornament is in place. Decorating the tree is a family affair. Neal and the kids do it while I watch (don't judge, the lights are my department, remember?)
Sunday didn't work because our oldest was at Disneyland, and Neal was battling a flood in the yard because our water main sprung a leak. Monday was gymnastics, Tuesday was fellowship and tacos and a late night bicycle buying and building adventure. Last night was filled with birthday celebrations, tonight was the younger kids Christmas program at school. Sigh... I'm tired. Tomorrow the oldest is heading for a party at youth group, and the rest of us are headed to have dinner with some new friends. The tree will have been lit but naked for a week.
Saturday is our one open day this week. Open after Neal gets off work that is. So it's the day for decorating, cookie baking, candy making, stocking shopping and all other things Christmas. I wonder how many hours there are in that day exactly? I fear not enough. Did I mention I haven't even done any shopping yet? Maybe I'll do that Saturday too, because Sunday is our church's Christmas service, and then Victoria's birthday party....
'Tis the season to be busy.... but full of joy in the Lord!!!

Hope you got the tree decorated. I was having a coffee for my sister-in-law so I got ours up in record time. My husband really wanted to get a much smaller artificial tree this year because he usually has to walk over boxes for a week. You are right. It should be a family affair. But around here, the excitement soon fades and I end up decorating most. Though I did have good luck waking my youngest up early before school to help put some on.
