"To Twismas"
The spread
Silly lips from Babybel wax
Getting the huge collection of toys/ornamentsfrom a lifetime of travels sorted out
Everything in it's place: the ultimate compulsionThe decoration was successful except that the star on top leaned forward, pushed by a tiny branch. So Tuesday morning I mounted the stepping stool to clip the little blighter. Well as you might suppose, I clipped the wire and the lights all died. I had to replace the top and bottom strands and we are now back in business. One has to laugh -- it's healthier than fuming and cursing.
Cut ends, but the star is straightP.S. Congratulations to Rob and Anna on their new MacBook! (Or is it just Rob's?)
Rob and Katy using their MacBookssimultaneously: the wonders of Wi-Fi!
That's all for now.

Where's the train? So sorry abt the hassle of restringing the lights, but that is a very funny story! Just recently I told someone abt Philips pacifier becoming an ornament and they were going to try it with their rugrat.
It was a Christmas Tragedy that turned into a Christmas anecdote! That is sort of a miracle if you think about it... I'm glad that I didn't have to see you cursing... and I'm also glad I didn't have to help you restring the lights. Thanks for a lovely meal!
That is a very unfortunate story about clipping the lights but very funny.
The dinner looks lovely.
And sadly the macbook belongs to Rob. I will just sit by and covet.
What is the old addage measure twice cut one? LOL Umm a comment for you.

Sounds like something from "A Christmas Story". We still need to have our meal. Finn was very pleased to see your tree up, and is a big fan of the red star.

The train is in the basement in a box. There isn't quite enough room, so it has been more or less retired -- mostly more.

P.S. The pacifier is still hanging on the tree. We should probably give it to Phillip, but would Meagan want it?

Looks so fun. I love making lips out of red cheese wax.
(From Debby)- We had a tree trimming "party" ourselves, the day after Thanksgiving. But ours was much more corporal with less frivolity. But now it's up and it's big- Texas style.
I need to call you to tell you all about this great homes tour we went on. You would have loved it.
Dickie, the regularity of your traditions gives me solace in the face of the entropy of the universe. Thanks.
