Waiting

Charlene's been on my case to get the Christmas tree set up. I have in the past put the tree together in November. Just before the big day arrives I'm busy replacing burnt out bulbs, broken ornaments, or even replacing the tree. It's simply become boring and we've found a much nicer one. I'm waiting as long as possible this year so I only have to do things once. Everything should then be a novelty that won't lose it's appeal by Christmas day.

Whatever happened to decorating a real pine tree Christmas eve?
