It is official, the Christmas tree is up, along with all our other decorations. We were not planning on decorating yesterday, it just kind of happened. We usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving to pull out the decorations, but something got into us and we went for it. So the garland is up, the tree is lit and the furniture is moved. It always seem like a challenge each year to figure out how we moved and arranged the furniture the year before. I think we’ve finally hit on a configuration we like.
The whole thing started when I said I wanted to go down and check out the Christmas tree at Fashion Island in Newport. We knew that would just make us sad if we didn’t have our tree up already, so Fashion Island got moved to this coming weekend and our tree went up yesterday along side our traditional media fare of Home Alone and The Santa Clause. I have to say, every year I look forward to that little Kevin McCallister foiling Marv and Harry’s plans to burglarize his house. He’s so smart for an eight-year-old.
