We got a new Xmas Tree this year. A new fandangle ( I feel old when I write the word “fandangle” but it fits so well) one with berries and cones. Of course I had to torture my family with singing, “O Christmas Tree” over and over again. That is my right as a mother.

This has to be the first time I have put up a Xmas tress and lights before December. I guess I’m feeling the peer pressure from my neighbors who seem to put up their Xmas lights in August. LOL.
