I got all the music boxes, Nativity scenes and other decorations out. I fluffed and assembled the tree, but we didn't decorate it yet. My aunt gave me her whole Christmas village so I had to move things around and make a new "plan" for everything to accomodate the village. My daughter and I had a good time putting the new village up. However, I thought they would 'daisy chain' with the plugs and they don't, so I have to buy some long surge protectors to plug in all the little shops, etc.
I put lights on the shrubs today (since it was in the 60's, I figured it was now or never), but I decided not to do the lights on the gutters this year. Next weekend, I'm going to pick up a couple lighted display things to put on the lawn. Michael's has some good deals and, of course, their 40% off coupon, so I think I can get what I want. No gutter lights this year, nope. The bottom line is, the shrubs are getting too large to be able to get my ladder in between them safely, on stable ground.
I think that I don't need to be getting up on ladders anymore anyway. I'm so wiped out tired from hauling boxes up the stairs. It's been a very tiring weekend.
