Putting up the tree

We picked up our tree yesterday and last night Masusie and Papa came over for dinner, hot chocolate, and decorating.

For some reason, I did not think to bring out my camera once all day. I had a spacey kind of day, started cooking dinner, Corn Chowder, and soon realized that I had forgotten to pick up one crucial ingredient from the store. Yep, the corn.

Jim to the rescue of course, and in return, I had to make him marshmallows for the hot chocolate. We usually listen to Christmas carols while decorating, but it was after all, a Sunday during football season.

I will eventually get photos up, probably when I decide to torture myself with stringing popcorn and cranberries.

I'm delighted to be kicking off Advent. The Christmas season is my very favorite.
