Christmas tree plans

 

I have some plans for my Christmas tree this year.  As you can see, my GPF and I actually got it put together today, and in place in his living room.  A new location for a good old tree.  It may seem to you that I'm rushing things but here is phase one of my plan.  We will be celebrating Thanksgiving with Paul's family on Friday, the day I traditionally put up my tree.  Sometime this week I will put the lights on it, and here's the fun part, on Friday I will have all of our boxes of ornaments on display and invite everyone to help decorate the tree.  I really hope to get quite a bit of it done this way, giving us the chance to enjoy it for most of December.  Then, on New Years Day, we'll be having an open house party for everyone who can come from both of our families. At that party I will invite everyone to take the ornaments from the tree that they would like to add to their own collections, hopefully things that have great sentimental value for them, like my grandson's tiny little superman figures, for example.    I will even have boxes available to make it easy for them to carry away their treasures.   That's my plan.  I will report on progress from time to time.
