...to look...

I have made a little more progress on the decoration front. On Friday I borrowed a taller artificial tree from a friend who isn't using it this year because of travel plans. I got the tree together and in one possible spot. It might get moved elsewhere if we can create a better spot. We were unable to get rid of our piano this year so it is still a little crowded in the great room with a tree.

Yesterday I spent the day decorating at church and setting up for our annual (well, mostly annual) Christmas musical performance and dinner. We had a poor turnout last night but the program went well and the additional space we have in the sanctuary makes doing a production like this so much easier. I forgot my camera so I will have to take a picture this evening when we do it all again and it is all decked out and candlelit.

I hope tomorrow to get the tree at home in its final home for the holidays and get at least lights on it. I would also like to get this year's ornaments finished so I can get them in the mail to family that we won't be seeing over the holidays. I have been filling any spare time with hand quilting on my Christmas quilt with my feet up. I hope to have that done to put on the bed by Christmas eve but we shall have to see about that one!

Good luck decorating your tree! I just finished mine yesterday and it took so much time and effort. I am always shocked about how tired I am afterwards.

It's such a shame you are so far away because I would gladly take your piano!!! I have wanted for so long to have one and take lessons. of course, that's not the only reason I would like to have you closer :)--YELNJody
