Probably not putting anything out this year. PC has her own decorations (lets not ask) for her room. Since none of the kids will be here I think we might try not going through the motions. With the remodel in the bathroom and the pantry still undone who needs one more thing right now.

Well we got our first real tree last night. It is a Scotch Pine. PC1 and I picked it out, naturally disregarding DW's instructions to keep it under 6' -- we accidentally-on-purpose wandered from the 6-footer aisle into the adjacent 7-footers. I was called Clark Griswold and I have to admit I earned it. Had to go back to Target to trade in the tree stand I bought initially for a larger one.
After we got back and put it up in its stand and admired it for a while, PC1 and GFG went off to bed, and then I hauled the Christmas stuff in from the garage and strung clear lights on the tree. It looks great. My inside jobs are now finished, the girls will hang ornaments and decorate the house tonight, while I sip hot chocolate and listen to the all-Christmas-music station. I still have to do the outside lights, probably this weekend.
