It was a week of trying to get that Christmas spirit in gear. No gift or tree shopping makes it a bit harder but needed to try at least. Easy part was writing the cards and stirred the spirit up a bit. In the past I've always loved to decorate and at least one of my daughters is as insane as I am about decorating. Fortunately I live with that one. My other daughter thinks about it and becomes so weary from the thought she just gives up. I mean, no kidding, one year we arrived at her home, joining her family for Christmas breakfast finding a beautiful tree, with one decoration on it and a strand of garland half on the tree and the rest just dangling. I wondered if she had narcolepsy. I mean, in everyday living, my house walls were pretty bare, some might say I am a minimalist. Apparently my second daughter is even more so, taking it to another level and is a Christmas-minimalist. Sigh. So this week Lisa and I headed over to the hobby shop and picked up a few things to add to the apartment. Having (again, no kidding) 42 totes of Christmas paraphernalia in storage, now by our past standards, we decorated minimally. Although as I was walking out I saw, what I felt like, something to fill the apartment with the spirit. I too, do believe!
