We took it easy today with just the beginnings of Christmas starting.
Today, we found the wreath that goes out to the cemetery. I needed to rewire the wreath to its stand. I found a new red bow in my Christmas boxes. Now we have to find a way to stake it into the ground in front of the graves. Usually, the ground is softer when we do this, but now the ground is harder. We'll find out about that tomorrow.
Gary found the big Christmas tree and dragged it down the steps from the cubby hole on the second floor, but on the way down he upturned a big humidifier, dumping two gallons of water down the stair case. Now he is dealing with that. Looks like the tree goes up tomorrow.
We do have the electric candles in the window. These are clever battery operated LED lights. They have timers in them we've set to go on at 4:30 pm. They turn off all by themselves at 10:30 pm and then are dark for 18 hours. We started them before we left for Illinois to make it look like someone was in the house.
So Christmas is coming slowly which is a good thing. I hate to push it. Slow and gentle, that's the holidays for me.
