Countdown to Christmas - 5 Days

Listened to Perry Como and finished getting decorations on the tree. 

More walking in sunshine.

Cigar time.

ANOTHER relaxing day. I'm loving this.

Holiday Season 2018 - The Tree

Monday, December 10, 2018

The tree is up. It's going to have to come down earlier than usual this year due to some travel plans we have. I'll add the lights and then the only ornaments I'm going to use this year will be the Christmas balls and then so very sparingly to allow for easier take-down. Also note: Perry Como was coming out of the blue Bose speaker on the table pictured at left during the setting up. 

Holiday Season 2015 - Putting Up the Tree

Got the tree up this past weekend. Of course it was done while listening to Perry Como. Dale and Athena got cozy and watched. Well, Dale did part of the time. Book is open, eyes are closed. By the way, only the tree is up - no lights, no decorations. That will be forthcoming.

Holiday Season 2014 - The Tree Is Up

I put up the tree today while listening to Perry Como. Tomorrow I'll work on getting the lights on. It's not feeling very Christmas-y outside as it got up to 48 degrees today. In other holiday season news, Noel and I went to lunch today at W.A. Frost in St. Paul. We sat at a table near the fire and it was really quite warm. We laughed at how we used to think the lyrics to Winter Wonderland were "later on we'll perspire as we sit by the fire..." For dessert we had a pear cake with crumbled chestnuts. I don't think I've ever had chestnuts before. They were quite tasty.
