Current Mood : Antici.....pation
Not a lot going on today, just kind of waiting down the last few days til Santa's Big Scene. We got the tree up without too much of an incident, although I need to discover a better way to wind up the lights when it's all over this year. I had a tangled pile to descramble yesterday.
Once the tree was up and lit, Dearest Son wanted to hang the ornaments himself. He got a beautiful crocheted red and white stocking as a gift from his bus driver, and I made sure that went up. From there, I deboxed our old favorites while Dearest hung them. Some of them are ancient ! One is from a high-school fund-raiser (when I was in high school !), one came from the weekend Beloved and I met for the first time, after two years of online writing. (sigh) Two are from the mobile that spun over Dearest's crib. Several are from school, one is from the mall where I worked so many years ago. It fell from the ceiling inches from my toes. So I kept it. It's huge on the tree, but looked so small up there.
After some minor curiosity, the kittens have left it alone. Dearest spends more time batting and fussing with the ornaments than they have !
Lab is a mess of dolls and felt bits. I really need to clean it again. I really intend to sew in there one day...
