How lovely are your artificial, already-lit, fluffed out and plugged in branches!

Yes, we did it… we got the Christmas tree up tonight!!

We didn’t decorate it yet, that is for tomorrow, we just set it up and fluffed it and plugged it in as we listened to Mannheim Steamroller.  The one that starts with “Deck the Halls”… it is my FAVORITE Christmas music.

Although, I am really digging Eclipse’s “Three Kings”… Nice!!

But I digress…

So, we got the Christmas tree up, turned it on, turned out all the lights in the home, and sipped hot cocoa as we discussed our thoughts on our Christmas plans.

Hopefully we will do at least two service projects of some sort, a Christmas cookie baking night, a graham-cracker gingerbread homes night, and some caroling.  Need to get it all mapped out on a calendar.

We really took advantage of “Black Friday” and got a large percentage of our Christmas shopping for the kids done, so we are ahead of the game for now.

I love Christmas!!
