Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Traditionally I decorate my house for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I believe this is because that is when my Mom decorated our house when I was growing up.

The weekend after Thanksgiving starts deer season and so my Dad and brothers would all leave for the week to go hunt.

This left my Mom and her daughters home to pull out all of the decorations and get it done in peace without all of the boys around.

My sister Debbie was always the most excited and we used to joke that if we sat still we would find ourselves covered in Tinsel or wrapped in garland......she decorated anything that didn't move.

Debbie was always an easy target for teasing and still is......sorry Debbie!

I am sincerely lacking the holiday spirit this year.

But my house is not.

Its all decorated and I would like to share it with all of you.

A christmas tree made from books.......what did you expect?
