The Third Day Of Decorating

 The first  day of decorating was plugging in a short strand of lights on the front porch; took approximately five minutes.

The second day of decorating was putting a hundred and forty lights on our three bushes on the front of the house. Took approximately fifteen minutes. 

The third day of decorating was putting up the one and a half foot fiber optic tree, one hour. Swag of greenery in living room with  thirty five lights, fifteen minutes.   Putting cotton on the piano to represent  snow fifteen minutes (it got stuck together). Taking all the things off the piano so the Santas and the tree could take their place.

Fran found the owner’s manual for the video camera that I have been looking for for months. Hmm. Maybe holidays that require decorating the piano should happen more often.

I put two swags of poinsettias on my artificial tree that is behind my recliner. Had to use a fly swatter because I could not reach the tree. The first swag fell on the floor. Then the fly swatter came to mind. Worked like a charm.

It will take the fourth day of Christmas because Maggie loves the decorations especially the reindeer horns. Well, maybe taking the paper off the packages. She really really wants her own stocking, but not with doggie treats, wants chocolate like people persons. She just doesn’t understand when I tell her no. She had a foil wrapped piece that Fran had dropped in her mouth. When I took it out of her mouth I thought I saw a tear. Oh, Dear.
