It's the Holiday Season!

I drove up to Rochester to help Jim get things decorated. I decided this year to take all of our Christmas decor up to Minnesota and not do any decorating in Madison. It just did not make sense to get two trees and Monika says she just not into Christmas anyway. I will miss having lites up at the condo but I don't want to buy another set. So Jim and I went out for a wonderful lunch and then went to Menards for a few extras. I ended up putting the lites up -- multi colored in front, blue in the back deck. Jim had the tree already set up, so all we had to do was decorate it. I went through all the old decorations and tossed things that were broken or torn. Balt had chewed up a few of my handmade ones and as endearing as that was, I finally threw them out. I have a nativity scene and my mom's and decided to donate them all but Monika asked me to keep them. It was a very nice evening preparing for Christmas.
