It’s a ‘Humming’ Type of Day
Never mind all the gloom and darkness this day brought. I know the sun is up there somewhere and will return when it is good and ready.
My Nativity has the focal spot of under the Christmas tree.
The 21st of December, I had some time to flip through a few eBay sites. I could not believe my eyes. For a whopping $3.50 I could add to my Christmas Nativity set. When Megan decorated the Christmas tree and carefully arranged the Baby Jesus and the remainder of the pieces at the base, she remarked that she thought it was special that there were trees to help protect the Baby Jesus. Yes, on eBay, I found a matching tree. I bought it the night of the 21st and it came in today’s (the 23rd) mail. I could not believe the fast service from the USPO. I have no idea when the Nativity set that I have was made, but ebay has some of the items listed under “Vintage Nativity.”
The newest addition glued onto
a very stable platform.
What I did notice is that the 11 inch tree seemed to be top heavy on the small base. Down to the basement where I have something to solve every problem that could possibly exist, I found a ceramic tile and with my E6000 glue, the tree will be safe from toppling over. I am not sure about other old homes, but in just a few certain spots, the living room floor boards allow for a bit of creaks and wobbles.
As the day continued, I found myself humming Christmas carols. Getting the package in the mail was totally awesome, but in addition, I received a Christmas message phone call from my Aunt Janet. We visited our way through 50 plus minutes. I find myself still humming as the mind is racing as to what I should put on the table and call it supper. “Lets pretend we did, and didn’t,” doesn’t cut it with Dennis. Never fear, we have never gone hungry here on Stauffer Avenue.
