Christmas, It Will Be

The Ellis Family Christmas Tree™
It’s getting to be that time of year again. That time of year when we are all a little easier to get along with, a little friendlier, and a little more generous.

It also happens to be the time of year when some of us are just a little more likely to go on a murderous rampage at any given moment, due to the fact that for some reason, it also happens to be the time of year when most of the population seems to lose any last vestiges of common sense that they may have been clinging to since the post-Thanksgiving shopping season began*.

On a lighter note: Kristina and the kids got our Christmas tree put up the other day, and got it pretty well loaded down with ornaments. Over the years my Grandmother has been making ornaments for each of our kids, so I of course took photos of them in their natural habitat.

It’s become our tradition that Kristina and the kids decorate the interior of the house including tree, ornaments, and Christmas cards, while it falls to me to decorate the outside, consisting almost entirely of roof lights and whatever else we may throw out there. I’ll be doing that job in the coming week, weather permitting.

 

* Note to self: For the next month, stay as far away from Walmart as humanly possible, so as to avoid an otherwise imminent murderous rampage.
