YEP! You're excused....I am sure there are those who overdid it so some of us (me included) would be covered!

And tomorrow? Aside from all the cooking and goofing around here, I am taking the day off!

Oh wait- the tree needs to go out, need to chase the cats and dogs around with the vacuum, maybe till the garden up a bit....................................
but other than that I am taking the day off!

I still have three more trees to take down (all now without ornaments)...we put a total of 12....maybe DH will help me, er, do it for me????

12 trees....how big is your house?... my renovated barn will only hold one

 

[ranchhand]

twelve? TWELVE? Did I read that number right??? I have 1 in the house and 1 outside for the local wildlife- birds and squirrels. And I thought I was a bit obsessive! Have you got 1 in the bath, 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the coop, 1 in the doghouse............? Wow!

Here' a picture taken at dusk:

We have:
1 in the yard with the deer
1 on the porch
1 in the master bed room (that faces the road)
1 in my DD's room
1 in my DS's room
1 in the dining room (kids' craft tree)
1 in the living room
3 on a table in the entrance (foyer)
2 now at the front door (on either side)
---
12 total

PS. I work at a school and all the kids know this is our house....so it's nice to give them something to get excited about...
