We put up the Christmas tree after dragging a number of boxes up from the storage room. We’ll only put up one tree since (1) there will be no one coming by to see and (2) the second tree would require moving Nina’s desk and where would we put that? After getting the tree set up and the lights on, it was very clear that we had many more lights at the bottom of the tree than at the top. So, Nina started putting on another strand of lights. She got them on the tree, plugged them in, and and about half of that new strand promptly stopped working. Off came the strand and we’ll have a tree with more light at the bottom than at the top. But, I can say that it is beginning to look like it’ll look a lot loke Christmas around here!
