Busy weekend. Took Friday off to try to get some of the Christmas decorations up(yes, that's Christmas, NOT holiday).
Strung about six miles of lights today... still not done...
Went to the tree place, picked out the tree, went home to get the not so nice SUV and tree saw, cut down the tree, shoved it (literally) into the SUV. Forgot the checkbook and the place only takes cash or checks (of course). Gotta love small town America, they let me drive home (with the tree in my SUV) to get the check book and come back and pay AND they gave me free candy canes for the wife and kids (yeah and me too).
Garlands and more lights tomorrow...
Ho, ho, frickin ho...gee only a month till I have to take it all down...
If I do a half-way decent job, maybe I'll post some photos of the final product...
UPDATE: Three days of work...Hanging like some crazed drunken chimp from the peaks of my roof, freezing by back side off and all I get is this...
You can sorta see the tree in the window...can't see the wreath on the door...
Made Mrs. Hamilton's Pamphlets very happy, but me (who ain't real fond of heights) I'm a little let down and next year I'm hiring somebody to hang those dang things!
Oh well, the wife and kids are digging it. Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
