Winter Wandering

The tree was released by a Husky bolt cutter courtesy of Home Depot. Yes I did it, and they helped. Especially, when they accepted the return the following day. I consider it a bolt cutter loan, that I paid back in full.

So my house began to look a lot like Christmas about a week ago on Sunday, Dec. 14. I calculated we could enjoy the tree at least 10 full days before the official holiday. That means it was worth the effort. But there was still something missing.

Looking at my tree didn’t bring me tidings of comfort and joy. The white lights on a white cord were glaring and awkward. Why hadn’t I noticed it before? I went to Walmart to get white lights on a green cord. That helped. Then, I realized I don’t like half of my silver and gold ornaments anymore. Only half of them were worthy of the tree so I decorated just one side of the tree. I’ll wait till the after-Christmas sales to get new and improved ornaments from the pricey places like Pier 1.

The tree pictured here is similar to mine. I’ll take a picture later and update it.
