Well, between packing paperback books (I have seven XeroxTM boxes full from two bookcases, and still have a larger bookcase to go) and washing two loads of clothing and packing up two clear storage boxes, anyway.
Anyway, we went checking out Christmas trees again; there's a lovely one at Hobby Lobby, but it's pre-lighted. We have our own lights—and not only is it pre-lighted, but it's white lights. Sorry, no. I know the original Christmas trees had candles, technically "white" light, but I was brought up on multicolor and I like multicolor. If only we could find a plain tree that looked like that. The needles are very realistic.
We also went to JoAnn to use a 50 percent off coupon (I wanted some of the new DMC "light effects" floss and they had two different collections, pastel and jewel) and found the cutest Christmas deer. All the Christmas stuff is already 60 percent off, so it cost nearly nothing. It's about 15 inches tall and plaid with black button eyes, brown antlers with aged sleigh bells on them, and a "pine garland" marked with cones and berries around its neck.
It told me his name was "Rusty." :-) I didn't argue with him.
We watched our first two Christmas specials tonight: we had been quoting from "Silly But It's Fun," the Good Life (Good Neighbors) Christmas ep already, so we saw that and the All Creatures Great and Small episode "Merry Gentlemen." We both love the gentle humor.
