263/365 Decking the halls

Last weekend, Mom and I pulled out all of her Christmas decorations and decked the house. My guess is that we're not the only people who feel it's absolutely mandatory that Christmas music be played on the stereo during the decorating process.

It would feel empty without it.

I love decorating for Christmas, but I admit that I don't particularly enjoy the de-decorating process. It just emphasizes that holiday let-down and means that the dreary, cold days of January and February are on their way.

But let's not think about that now. We're a week from Christmas!
