All decked out for Christmas....sorta

The fireplace is hung with lights and bulbs.
Memories of yesterday all a glow.
Candles glowing and heart felt cheer...
all are waiting for Christmas to appear.

Yep!
That's right... my fireplace is decorated up for Christmas!
I have some things hanging on my picture screen too!
Sharon says she is going to go get some of her decorations from Ft Worth. My roomies, Bob and Sharon, are even considering (gasp placed here) a Christmas Tree!
I haven't had a Christmas tree in 4 years!
I am excited at the prospect of it too.

I love Christmas lights and I need to replace a strand or two myself.
I like to walk around and see how the houses are decorated. This year I may have to ride my bike!
A few years ago there was an Interlochen tour of lights in Arlington. We all gathered at Antje's home ( it was known as The Sanatorium ) for a ride. Antje had Debbie and Jeff C as roommates then. It was a BLAST riding around and seeing all the decorations.

That was about 4 years ago.

I don't think that this time of year is so bad at all.
My roomie and I just watched "Elf". Kind of a silly movie but it had some good points to it.
1) Always smile
2) Sing a song to spread the cheer.
3) Always believe in something.
4) Tell the people in your life you love them...and tell them often.

Good principles to live by.

I will post a picture of my fireplace as soon as I get new batteries.

Kisses to all
