It’s also my SIL’s BD, my landlord’s BD, my dear friends’ anniversary and New Years Eve… So…. It’s a party every year.

This year a catered party of smoked ribs and chicken.

So I get five parties. Thanksgiving, the Solstice, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.

Before we retired my real tree was 15’ and took me nearly a week to get done. THEN, my OCD, makes me MUST get all Christmas inside put away by Jan 1. The lights we left up until a thaw.

So yes. It’s very busy for me. Although my tree now is only an artificial 5 ft.
(It’s still so pretty)

Which is weird beyond measure. Christmas here in a Catholic country is not a big deal.
Easter is the big holiday here.

So Christmas shopping is basically regular shopping with a hint of holiday.

But…GIRL FRIEND ROAD TRIP!
Wish you were here!!!
