There. Christmas decorations at the station are now up--
Yesterday someone asked me if we had any holiday decorations to stick up around here and, to be honest, we really don't. However, during Covid I had picked up a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and stuck in the lobby; it did seem appropriate at the time, after all. Since then, it's been sitting in a box under my desk and when I was asked about decorations it immediately sprung to mind.
So now the station's decorated for the season.
I've also dug the small LED tree that Loraine and I use at home out of our basement, and it's up in our apartment, a week or two earlier than usual. That's a tree we've had ever since we moved into our current place, and it's showing wear & tear after now (gulp) 18 years. It has these little plastic “needles” on them that fall off everywhere, and it's not uncommon for us to find them lying around months after the holidays are over. In fact, Loraine found one and taped it into the anniversary card she gave me last year.
To show you how long after the holidays we keep finding them, keep in mind that our anniversary's in April.
So now that the trees are up in the two places in which I spend the most time, I guess we're good to go for the holidays. Well, except for the baking of cookies. And the wrapping of gifts. And the mailing of gifts. And the getting of food for the feast. And the...
Never mind. Maybe I should just be glad that at least the trees are out.
