I'm not stressing about getting everything done in a hurry this year. So as a result, my house is being decorated a little a time. This weekend was productive. I was able to finally convince three of my kiddos and a friend of theirs to haul up most of the Christmas boxes from our storage room. There is still stuff down there in the basement, but I'm not stressing to get down there to find it. Anyway, most of the decorations are out; most of the ornaments on the main tree. The top is kind of bare, but the bottom branches are quite full, courtesy of short people with little hands. I need to enlist the help of a taller individual to get it complete.
This is a picture of the first decoration of this Christmas season, well not counting the Christmas tree!
Yes, it's half snowman/half football. And yes it's adorned in purple and gold instead of red and green. Gregory had the honor of hanging this little guy on Saturday night, following the LSU win over Georgia in the SEC Championship game.
He's now surrounded by lots of red and green. There's a little black and gold one hanging nearby too! Imagine that! They are new, purchased while home in Louisiana last January. I was so excited when I bought them because they reminded me so much of Greg. And now he's home, ever-present and yelling and clapping when there's a team from Louisiana playing football! And what a year to be an LSU or Saints fan!
So it was a good weekend. Football aside, it's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas; now to start working on it sounding and feeling more like it too!
