The Christmas Spirit


This year we put our Christmas tree up the week after Thanksgiving. If I don't get it up before the first of December I consider it a pointless time waster. You should see the deep dark dungeon that I have to pull my Christmas boxes from. It is literally the black abyss and if you stay down there too long you are sure to get lost and never return. Anyway, it usually takes me 1/2 a day just to get the stuff out and by then I am to tired to do anymore. This year I was able to get the tree together and put in it's spot and I was done for the day. The crying began from McKayla, but I was not giving in. "We will finish tomorrow!". Well I had to work that night and when I got home around 2am. I was overly energized and proceeded to put most of the lights on that darn tree. 3am and I am off to bed but happy that the lights are on. That is the one thing I insist on doing myself. Everyone can just sit and watch me, but no one can help put the lights on. I am way to picky about it, walking to the other side of the room every few minutes to squint and make sure they are all on straight. What is with that. As if the people who walk through my door squint at my tree to make sure the lights are even?
