This year I have done more than I have ever done in the past, I cleaned all the daily stuff off our mantel and piano and gasp, decorated for Christmas with greenery, lights, snow globes on the piano, and nativities on the mantel. I cleaned off the kitchen counter that is bar height and put Santa and snow man and Christmas plates, I used greenery, lights and ribbons on the staircase, It took me two whole days to decorate, and then...I made cookies and treats for our friends and neighbors...I really enjoyed doing all this, Lydia wanted to know WHY? I have never done this before, and after thinking about it, I think it is because this is the first year in fifteen years that I am not pregnant, have a baby, or in school...whew...I actually had the energy to do something besides just make it through the day..:} Lydia didn't believe me so we did a time line, here it is..
