If you want your tree to look good, knock it down

This morning at around 6:30 my daughter came to tell me the tree fell over. Then she came back a few minutes later to tell me a lot of bulbs had broken. I did not go look because I knew I could not do anything until my hubby got up. Finally he got up, we got the tree back up and tethered it to the banister. I looked at it and thought it looked better after it fell than before. The only sad moment came when we realized out golden retriever ornament broke but we think we can fix it.

I did not do any chores today but instead made 35 Christmas cards. They started out pretty ugly but slowly got better and the last few ones I made turned out really nice. I already addressed the envelopes so now I have to sign the cards and include the newsletter and send them out tomorrow.

We went out to celebrate the daughter's report card. We came back and the tree is still standing....whew!
