Preparations


We've started our Christmas preparations early because we are hosting a party for Doug's community band next weekend.  The "Blue Tree" went up last weekend. 


The Ancient One took up her favorite holiday residence. 
 
 
The usual stairway garland with new lights
 
 
The stockings were hung in the stairway with care.
 
 
Advent wreath
 
 
I bought some "net lighting" this year.  They went on in about 5 minutes tonight.  Last year Johanna and I put lights on these bushes and Milhaud get left outside.  A loud voice helped avert a feline crisis. 
 
 
The outdoor finished product.  I think we'll get a real tree for the basement tomorrow and the decorating will be done!  Doug picked up a 24 pound turkey at Target so the defrosting will probably start on that tomorrow in preparation for cooking next Saturday!
