The Christmas Spirit




Jessica and I have finally been getting into the Christmas spirit around here. Last weekend we bought a tree and last night we decorated the outside of the house. Talk about cold! Here we were in 40 degree weather wrapping lights around our prickly holly buses, going through our light strings in the dark, trying to figure out why half of them wouldn't light. Finally found most of the shorted out and broken bulbs and things are looking nice. La Got to keep up with the Jones next door, you know. Besides, it really does warm up the outside of the house.





















Since we we've been married (5 1/2 years now) Jessica and I go round and round each year about buying a plastic tree. I can't bring myself to do it. Going out as a couple or family and freezing your tail off at the tree lot until you find just the right tree is a tradition that I hope Aeva will grow the love just as much as her Daddy does. Besides, having a live tree our living room has made our whole downstairs smell like an evergreen. Who wouldn't love that!
