Mandatory Christmas Joy


It goes without saying that all five of us - and only the five of us - decorate our Christmas tree. We purchase it the evening before, make our feast (admittedly a bit haphazard this year, as I spent most of the day at a vendor event), and get going. 

This year we selected the very first, and only, tree we looked at, which was a great improvement over last year’s meager selection. I capitalized on Danny’s new status as second-tallest in the family by having him be the one to help Tim wrangle it into the house. Despite how Tim makes the tree look in the above photo, it’s quite large - around 11 feet.

We finished our evening as we’ve done the past few years: A viewing of  “Elf” and chocolate fondue. A sweet evening, and a sweet life.
