bodldopsI should be in bed. I should have been in bed a long time ago.
HOWEVER.
Today I got a care package from home - a bunch of the ornaments I either made as a kid/teenager/college student or were made or bought for me over the years, as well as a couple family ornaments.
So tonight was tree re-decorating night, because as the pic below shows, the tree was missing a certain... something. Something besides a good sweep-up underneath. The cat and the tree are in a shedding competition some days.
Half-way through, I couldn't wait any longer and put on the shiny star my Grandma and Grandpa (the one who calls me Boodledops) gave me one year.
And this, folks, is what I believe a Christmas tree should look like. Y'all can keep your fancy color-coordinated trees - trees are supposed to be a mis-matched motley crew of ornaments that are equal parts memories and awesome. It helps if at least one of your ornaments is a caroling ex-soda can. There's two on this tree, but I thiiink you can only see one in this shot. It's like 'Where's Waldo', except better.
