Short Jaunt
Headin' out. Goin' to Mama Vi's to pick up.....are you ready for this?......my Christmas Tree.
WooHoo!!!
Oh, it's not going up yet, but the family is all heading the the east coast, and we don't know when I'll get another chance to pick it up before the holiday itself.
Well, that and they are DRIVING to the east coast. My family. All together. In one van. Holy Crap! I would NOT want to be a fly on that wall.......
So I figure I'll head over to Mama's house. Pick up the tree and see if she needs any help with anything before they take off. They'll have a great time, and it's something she really looks forward to every year. All the "brothers & sisters" gather each year at this time. Every 3 years it's the ENTIRE family, all the cousins and their families. Trust me - it's a real crowd.
I'm not going this year. With all the stuff going on with work, I just can't step away, plus like I said. 13 hours in a van. With my family. Yeah, I'm thinkin' someone would get hurt......
So I'm outta here for the day. Just a quick jaunt, but it should be good for everyone involved. Plus - I'm getting the bestest christmas tree ever. It's BEAUTIFUL. And BIG. Oh My!!!!!!!!
It really *IS* the Holiday Season!

Posted by: Richmond at November 17, 2007 07:44 PMI am early this year with mine, but I wanted it to be up for my 40 plus folks that will be at my house for Thanksgiving. It is 100% patriotic, and I am doing something very different this year. I took one room and it is nothing but Christmas. I have had the very best time in that room for the last two weeks. I have sat in their with just the christmas tree lights on and I have shed a few tears over the last two weeks, but they were good tears.
Christmas is so much fun. You will have lots of fun putting it up.
Angel or star on top?
