A couple weeks ago, I told you how hubby was so
ticked off about our sudden rain. The main reason is this:
Isn't he cute? He decorated his car with garland, lights, and stockings.
Hard to see the car since it's dark, but the lights can be set to "twinkle" or "steady". The battery packs are kept in the stockings.
Hubby, who usually winds up on my “naughty” list
around this time of year for his very realistic portrayal of The Grinch, seems
to have finally taken the end of that story to heart. So to speak. Where
usually I have to beg, plead, cajole, nag and wind up having my lights put up a
mere day or two before Christmas, this year, he got them the week after
Thanksgiving week-end.
Unfortunately, the garland lights that the teen
loved so much were too heavy for the hangars we had. They came down with the
first big wind and just kept coming down. I’m going to ask hubby to put hooks into
the concrete for next year; maybe that, with electrical ties, will keep the
garland up. This year, I’ll tell the teen to decorate the hall outside his room
with the lights or we can put them up in the front room (where there is no
breeze and no rain).
Tonight, we finish decorating, except for the
tree, which gets finished on Christmas Eve, per my family’s tradition, and one
the teen loves—the 12 year-old would have it all decorated the day after
Thanksgiving if given his head. I may be making popcorn, as that’s one of his
favorite things to do is make a popcorn garland. Actually, he enjoys anything
homemade or crafty. Don’t know where he got that gene.
I hope you all enjoy your last shopping week-end
before Christmas and I’ll see you all Monday, when I’ll be chatting about Myrrh,
the last gift of the Magi, fittingly, on Christmas Eve day.
