Small steps

The Christmas tree is up, with lights.

The stocking hangers, 80% of the advent calendars, and the creche (minus baby Jesus) . . . all on display.

The wreath is on the door.

Christmas cards are sorted and await the completion of the final copy of the Christmas letter, and signatures/stamps/addresses.

The living room is looking a lot like a battleground.


So this afternoon between 2:30ish and 5:30, all we have to do is...hang ornaments, decorate the stair rail, repack the boxes, call about the summer mission trip and the conference in March, write up a "Dear Parents" letter for the youth group, print address labels (buy them first), make a shopping list for tomorrow, call Amy....

Yeah.
