Yesterday we decorated for Christmas. All the nativity scenes and snowmen are scattered throughout the house, and the tree is up! First we had to clean out the shed and see if the skunk that was living in there for a while did any damage to the Christmas stuff that was in "his" corner. But everything is ok, the shed is cleaner than it has been in years, we got rid of tons of stuff, and got all the Christmas stuff out. Then we went down to get our Christmas tree. We got it at True Value this year 'cause Danny as an employee could get it for cost. That is not our tradition, but it works this year. Traditionally we go to fast food for lunch on the way to Apple Hill to cut our own tree down, then to High Hill Ranch for cider and shopping, then to the Fudge Factory for everyone to pick out a candy, then whatever else we decide to do. But, it is an expensive trip, and Danny wouldn't have been able to go (can't spare a day away from homework til after school lets out the 15th), so we decided to forgo tradition this year. So this year it was True Value tree and Papa Murphy's pizza and milkshakes at home. It was still fun. Then after decorating, the kids watched "A Boy Named Charlie Brown". So that was our Saturday.
