Well, I figured that if all the Christmas presents are bought...and they are all wrapped...we might as well get the tree up so that we have somewhere to put them. So Jon dragged the tree up from the basement and proceded to...ahem...fluff.
After the tree was put together and standing tall, we decided that we might have to get a new tree this year when they go on clearance at work. It's rather skimpy and vertically challenged. We put on a little Christmas music for motivation and lit a cozy, cracklin' fire. (We popped in a realistic fireplace DVD.)
With the roar of the fire and the festive holiday tunes in the background, we got the lights and decorations on the old tannenbaum. 
I got to say, once the lights and decorations are strategically placed on the tree, it looks pretty good. And especially with all the presents underneath. Sadly, there aren't any presents under there for me. Jon usually waits till the last minute to wrap my presents. Now that the tree is up, we thought maybe we should put up a few more decorations. So I got out my favorite grape vine snowman and our fiber optic village. I would love to get some lights out on the house, but it happens to be 23 degrees outside and snowing.
Maybe next year. Or better yet, maybe in the middle of the summer when it's sunny and warm. You don't think anyone will notice if we have lights up all year, do you? Well, anyway. Since we have received our first Christmas cards in the mail, I think I should probably get going on sending out our Christmas cards.
Time to settle in, drink some Sleepy Time tea, and watch some Three's Company reruns before retiring for the evening. Gotta rest up for a fun-filled day at the old bullseye tomorrow morning. Good night all!
