The Day Has Passed

Well, the day has come and gone. I now need some help taking all of the festiveness down. Sis Pam asked how many trees are in our home. Ranging from 1 foot to 7.5, there are 14 trees in the grove. Every room has at least one. It is very pretty but someone needs to take it all down. I guess that someone is me. Normally I get the after Christmas blues so bad. This year for some reason I did not. Perhaps it is that melancholy feeling that causes me to rise at 5 am to go stand in line at Wal-Mart to buy reduced merchandise. I go way overboard. It is more of an obsessive disorder I think. I was going to go out and be reasonable this year. I was going to spend a minimal amount because clearly I do no need anymore stuff. There was just a few item I wanted to add. Four hours and six stores later I had a car full. I just got so caught up. It is pathetic and I need help. It is so fun though. Truth be told I sneak back in every now and then to see if it is reduced even more. I am still over $100 under last year. So there has been improvement. There are some 30plus boxes of Christmas stuff in our attic, or will be when I finally get it back there. I see these litle Rubbermaid containers for storing ornaments and think how pathetic that is. There is no way I could get all ou ornaments in there. I may count how many ornaments there are this year. It is way out of control, but hey everyone has their thing. At least mine is not something illegal or harmful to me. My poor attic doesn't think so. I hear it groaning throught the year beneath the weight of the load. That could very well be the death of me, crushed beneath collapse, avalanche of Christmas trees, ornaments and various other items. I have ramble quite enough. God bless you all.

Even More Pics

The Ole "Yule Blog"

I suppose it is time to post again especially since I am beginning to be shamed again. Since last post I have become a college graduate again. *Hooray!* I had to finish a little work for my Bachelor's degree. That is all done. There have been Christmas programs at work, at church. I even sang a Christian song at work in a talent contest. I did not win but I was truly blessed by al of the positive feed back. I was told when I entered that nobody would be paying any attention to the contest. WRONGO!!!! All eyes and ears were tuned. It was a bit nerve racking. It went well though. Our CEO and the Nuns were quick to thank me for the song choice and dedication. My co-workers were stunned that I had that in me. So, I felt like a winner. I am including a few pics from the inside of our home to put you in the holiday spirit. God bless you all and Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you!

The Big Reveal

Here are a few pics of the outside of our house. It does not show everything. I love Christmas. I have been slow to post due to a small home improvement project. I suppose I should post some pics of that. There will be a band service at our house tonight. There was a ladies' night out last Friday. I had to get all of the construction finished before that and try to clean up the mess. All is well here in Arkansas. I will try to get some more pics up of the inside. I'll have to hurry, lest I be called a liar. The nerve!!!!! *rasberry* Hope you guys enjoy this post. More pics that words. God bless you all.
