It has become tradition for Danny and I to set up Mom and Dad's tree and put the lights on. We started doing it the year they threatened to get a fake tree!

My only regret this year is that I didn't think to take pix while Danny was under the tree adjusting the base ( little to the left, nope, little to the right. . .wait, back to the left.)

We had a great time. Here are the pix I did think to take.

Mom and Dad after decorating tree

The decorating went smoothly--everything was very well organized--mom and dad have the greatest ornament storage boxes; very organized.. . .they have finally thrown away the disintegrating cardboard boxes they have had since BEFORE they moved to 260. Dad says some of those boxes were from Wassaic. . . 

Anyway, we had fun. 

Looking forward to seeing Kevin and crew, Scott and Maggie. . .anyone else want to jump in last minute?

I finally caved and admitted I can't fit that many people for dinner. We'll be having Christmas dinner at Susan's, so plenty of room for last minute drop-ins!

Hope you all are enjoying the season!

Be DIM or be decorating!
