The 2015 Christmas Tree in Postcards 4

The tree is done for the moment. There are a few bare spots, and the mouse that looked so little in the store now looks too big for the tree.

We own too many animals also. From my father’s bear to the bear I found in the store, there are way too many critters crowding round the base of the tree. After the holiday, maybe we can find new homes for some of them. Until then, they make me smile.

The crèche is up. I love Mexican tin work, and these are truly fun. But no presents are wrapped. I inch toward a gathering on the 18th.

• Himself: Still feeling better. Weird dreams. Slammed at work.
• Herself: Got all those usual errands run in the morning except I bought the wrong meat. The crock pot recipe’s all call for no bones. I bought bones. Puttered with the tree, fixed fattening dinner, and chatted with B. Today I am slammed with books at work…what fun.
• Reading: Francis’ “Shattered.” I’m almost at the end of my collection.
• Gratitudes: …for everything but dust.
