Merry Christmas!

It took my kids a few more days of begging than usual this year to make me get the decorations up. We used to put up the tree after Thanksgiving in the past. After getting the decorations up, I realized that it’s not very fancy but lovely. I pinched in to help as needed, and I sure liked how the nativity scene looks on top of my fireplace and am pleased with how my kids came up with the idea of having the tree by the fireplace. We usually use it in the upstairs livingroom , and we didn't realize until now that it looks so lovely in the downstair family room by the fireplace!

I hope all you guys have a peaceful and enjoyable time with your family and friends on Christmas! I'll have to try and hope to survive it with my mother-in-law staying for three days and two nights.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you!
