Two weeks ago, the first Sunday of Advent, we decided to pull out the Nativity set that we have. It's a good thing that my Black Friday escapades went well and we were able to get a new TV because the Nativity set now fits VERY nicely on our mantle, under the TV.
This past weekend, we went to find our Christmas tree. We found a farm that sounded promising online. Well, if we wanted a 20 foot tree it would have been very promising. Because we wanted a 7-8 foot tree, it was not promising at all, and we ended up leaving to go to another farm. We were MUCH more successful there, found our tree and it's now at home, waiting to be decorated.
Well, finding the tree wasn't that easy. We found one we liked almost right away, but decided to walk around more to see if there was another we liked better. We found a couple others, but kept thinking about that first tree. Finally we decided on the tree, then, couldn't find it. It still amazes me that all those trees look the same, even when you take a picture of it so you remember what it looks like. Needless to say, once we made our final decision, we walked around for a while trying to re-locate the perfect tree for our house. We even got to the point that if we couldn't find it, we would go back to our second pick. Finally it was found! And then promptly cut down.
The cats aren't so sure about the tree. They like it, think it's their new chew toy, and the water for the tree is their new water bowl. Hopefully the tree skirt will help deter them.
Projects for Christmas are starting to add up. Stockings are being made (1 down, 1 to go), the tree skirt needs to be made, blankets have to be tied, gift jars have to be assembled, cookies have to be made....
