This time of year, we are always busy with work, and there have been times when we just didn’t have the time to decorate a tree with lights and ornaments. So when our first day off was 12/10, we went for it.

First, we decorated the tree in the front window with lights and an ornament. Then, we decorated the front room and sunroom with Christmas decor, much of it given to us over the years. Since we had some extra time, we added lights to the trees out front this year, adding to the street’s festiveness.
