A Little Bit of Christmastime Fun

I have a bunch of personal days to take at work by the end of the year, or I'll lose them, so I'm enjoying a lot of December long weekends!  I can highly recommend it, since for me at  least, I love being able to take time off at Christmastime.  When you have some extra time off, everything is just a whole lot more leisurely.

Yesterday was probably my laziest day.  I just noodled around in the morning, and then met my friend Kate for lunch.  I owed her an overdue birthday lunch, and we had a really lovely time, and a yummy meal.  Then I came home and just kinda hung out until The Tim got home from work, at which time we headed out to get a Christmas tree.  We found one that is just so pretty, and our house smells so good now, all pine-y and fresh.

Jetsam is thrilled with the tree.  Pip is puzzled by the whole thing, and *very* worried about the lights, as they go off and than on again, and that can't be a good thing as far as he's concerned.  I have a feeling though, that once the ornaments come out, he'll be a little bit too interested ...

Today there was putting lights on the tree and baking (The Tim), and unpacking the non-tree ornaments and putting them in place (me).  Just a few finishing touches are left.  We'll probably decorate the tree tomorrow evening.  I can't wait!!

In the meantime, we will be leaving the house shortly to go to the Christmas concert of the Philadelphia Boys Choir.  Neither of us have seen/heard them in person, and we are excited for the concert.  (The fact the it's being held less than a ten-minute walk away from our house doesn't hurt, either ...)

Have a lovely Christmastime Saturday evening!
