It is the 26th and as I look out my west porch windows, I notice that there are several homes that have their Christmas trees out on the curb. Seriously? These are the special days where most of the scurry-hurry items have been taken care of as of yesterday. We still have two Christmas gatherings to attend, but the stress level is non-existent. We have the details for those nailed down. I can’t give you a date when I will take down our Christmas tree. With all the gray weeks of weather we have had, my tree is the bright spot that still has the content, cozy effect on me. I like it a lot.
