Ho ho ho! Here we go.
Tis Christmas time again!
As you know I love the season but I have a hard time with all the decorations (read clutter) in my home.
But alas I found a solution.
This year I am hosting Christmas dinner at my home. I wanted all of us to celebrate together so we built one long table that would seat 20. We had to rearrange the furniture in the living room so everyone could move around freely. (Nothing worse than being stuck in a corner and 10 people having to get up and move when you decide that a 2nd helping of mashed potatoes and gravy would be nice!) 
This arrangement of furniture meant there was no space for a Christmas tree!
Oh darn.
Don’t worry I did not ‘Scrooge’-out, instead I placed my fully decorated Christmas tree in the front porch! Everyone at the table can still see the tree. Sans needles and mess. Perfect! 
And then creativity struck, I wrapped the gifts and tied them all up with a bow and wouldn’t you know – a Christmas tree appeared! 
And on that note a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
See you in the New Year.
XXXOOO
