Good afternoon. I popped up out of the train room for a few things but mainly 3. At noon and 4pm cleaning companies came to look at the house and options for us. Prices tomorrow by noon from both. The 3rd I had to eat lunch.
CHRISTMAS has always been a big deal even though both grandkids know Santa is not real even though the granddaughter with Down Syndrome doesn’t totally get it. We celebrate with family and friends but gifting has gotten less.
Decorating I have a service doing the outside lights the last 6 years and 3 different places. That was a 2 year gift originally from the daughter and now my brother gifts that to us. Good thing too because if it’s higher than a step ladder I am now forbidden from using it. Inside when I retired in 2014 Christmas was 33 bins not including the lights I put up outside. Tomorrow I can bring out the main tree and 4 bins. The other 9 bins are mainly dishes and tablecloths. Terry has reduced greatly over the years. The outdoor lights were turned on the day after Thanksgiving
TRAINS, I don’t ever remember a train around any trees in our family. My first train for Christmas at 7 years old was a 4x8 dad built, Lionel
enjoy the day
