Christmas Begins!
Saturday, 19 November 2005 by Jacob Tomaw
Jos and I decorated for Christmas tonight. I know we are about a week ahead of schedule. We are leaving Wednesday night for the holiday, going to the families in Indiana for Thanksgiving. Friday, Jos’ family is coming to Chicago for the day. We don’t anticipate entertaining many people over the Holidays so we want to maximize the viewing time for our decorations. So when the family comes over everything will be ready for their viewing pleasure.
I had a tree and lights from last year. Clearly this is not enough. So we went over to the local World Market and browser around for some decorations. We had some trouble with customer service and the spirit of Vicky was channeled through us. However we did find a couple stockings, a star (I say snow flake) tree topper, tree skirt, bulbs, star ornaments and a special Santa sitting on a box ornament for our first Christmas together. You can see the bulbs sitting on ground because World Market does not sell ornament hangers! You can also see that someone has a gift sitting under the tree, although this is not a Christmas Gift, it is a rather late wedding gift.
You will also notice that this is not a very good picture. Couple reasons for that. First, I don’t think anyone recommends taking photos right at a window. Second, I could really use a tripod and would not refuse a new digital camera, a Digital Rebel XT would be nice. Thirdly, I never seem to take the best pictures inside, if anyone has some tips I will take them.
