The tree is decorated for Christmas 2025! I was very glad to hang that last ornament on the tree about an hour ago. Then I got busy and got all the boxes upstairs and straightened up the living room so I could take a picture (or two) to share here this evening. Lots of memories...lots of thoughts and prayers for those who gifted me with so many of these ornaments. I am planning to share some of these memories here on the blog throughout December...we'll see if I follow through! It has been a busy day of hanging ornaments, measuring lengths of bridesmaids dresses, visiting with Abigail and Joy, taking things up and down the stairs. I am virtually finished with the decorating...I still have to finish clearing off the dining room table and fixing the centerpiece. The other thing that I may or may not do is the shadow box in the family room. I have brought down the box with the Christmas items in it, but am setting it aside in the family room. If I do change out the things in the shadow box, it will probably happen after Thanksgiving...I'm ready to put aside decorating for a while and get on with other things...like Thanksgiving, other Christmas activities, finishing ornaments,getting dresses ready for Esther and Patrick's wedding, along with sundry other things. It is definitely a busy time of year...but a time that I love. And, I want to enjoy it without being stressed over too many things! When I finish blogging, I need to go get the gift ready for a shower for our pastor's son and future daughter-in-law, that is happening tomorrow after church. It's a kitchen recipe shower and I have to put together all the herbs and spices that I use in my special dry rub and get the recipe ready. Guess I had better close this and go get busy! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! 'Tis the season!
