A Tense Moment.
So this was the year.
The year to finally buy the artificial tree.
I found the perfect one for us.
It was at Sears. I called and had them set the last one back. I double checked and triple checked and told JWS to check when he picked it up.
It was the tree with CLEAR lights.
Not multi-colored.
He went to town, a 75 mile round trip in the snow.
He came home, set it up, plugged it in and....
MULTICOLORED LIGHTS!
For one brief moment that I am not proud of, I lost sight of all priorities.
I was upset....over lights!
How stupid.
When life gives you lemons...or multicolored lights...
Make lemonade.
I dug out every white ornament I had and lots of white ribbon.
Even ran into the drug store this morning for an inexpensive white tree skirt.
I like it...it's a change and I can always leave it unplugged and put white lights on it another year, but maybe I'll keep it like this.

JWS has been in a Suzy Homemaker mode.
He baked a cake..from scratch.
He made chili.
And even cleaned up.
AND
Quick pictures snapped when I am not looking.
And I have been knitting.
Hat and mittens for my Mom for her early morning walks.
Hats for donations to the shelter.
Mittens for the kids.
A scarf that I am trying to finish to go with the hat and mittens for my Mom.
Another scarf for a gift.
And a bunch more knitted and painted items that are gifts that I can't show right now.

Oh I love seeing the DH in the kitchen. Kudos for your man:) and you have the photos to blackmail him with... LOL.
Handknit gifts are the best at Christmas. That's a wonderful talent to have. I crochet a little, but not enough *wink wink*.
Merry Christmas to ya'll!
