For many years, back to the days when my children were small and Santa was a part of our Christmas... I did not like the Holidays.
I think it may be partially due to the fact that I did not have any of my family close enough to be able to celebrate together. So it was always with my spouse's family. Which was not all that fun for me.
So this year. I got my CHRISTMAS spirit out of the way early and I stitched up this Rudolph quilt.
Now have to figure out where to put it. And do I want to put up my tree this year. I do like to see XMAS decorations and like the soft glow of the tree lights in the evening. And now I have a tree that only requires me to plug it in. It is decorated and has lights, and I do not have to put them on or take them off.
It is also out in the back yard shed, and we must depend on one of the kids or grandkids to lug it in and after Christmas lug it back out. Last year it was in my living room well into summer, before we corralled our oldest son to move it back to the shed.
MY snowmen in the sun rom have found a permanent home on the shelf above the back windows. It is just too much hassle taking them up and down each season. When I was younger I changed the décor on that shelf with the seasons. Now the snowmen are a permanent fixture up there.
Today we hope to hang the newly painted cabinet doors in the kitchen. That will leave about 2/3 of the kitchen cabinets painted inside and out. And at our age this process is taking much longer than it would have 10 years ago.
