Christmas Decorations

It's Christmas time.  Here at The Craftsman B&B on the Oregon Coast in Pacific City, we do the normal Christmas decorations.  I decorated the tree the best I could without having thumbs.  Mikes parents helped too and Laura directed us all.  This is her favorite holiday and she likes to get the tree up.  The picture also shows a corner of the fantastic mural painted in the living room, that's Haystack Rock, one mile off shore of Cape Kiawanda.  The reindeer were made by Laura's uncle, I jingle the bells when ever I sniff them.

They have this down,  Mike moves furniture around the house, gets the tree in the house, and in the stand within 5 minutes.  Then he is off to the cellar and boxes and boxes come up.  Everything comes out of them and has a place to go.  The usual cursing of the lights celebration is next, it didn't last too long.  The ornaments are all hung pretty quickly with all of us helping, I cant reach to far up, so Mike and Jack hang the ones up top.  The best part is Jack and Mary come with presents, so we already have things under the tree.
