Window #10 |
Santa and Rudolph have been with us for a long long time. (Mama Goose is a more recent adoption.) Santa was one of those fabric printed novelty items to cut out, sew together, and stuff that I made some 30 years ago when Megan was a toddler. A very 1970s sort of decoration. Rudolph was a gift for Susan back when Santa brought the girls a stuffed animal every Christmas.
Today the big job of shoving furniture out of the way to make a space for the Christmas tree whilst still having places for guests and us to sit and enjoy the said tree has been accomplished. So tomorrow we can go tree shopping.
Bob is a connoisseur of trees. In Hingham where the trees were a lovely shape, our ceilings were so low, we could never have a huge tall tree. Here our ceilings are high, but the trees are short and shapeless, and the top third has no branches to decorate. The tree stands were opening when we were in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. I so wanted to pack one to bring to London. Well whatever, this year's tree will still be the best one ever.
