I spent Friday preparing the house for holiday decorations. Putting up the Christmas tree in our rather small house requires furniture to be moved and I always like to dust real well before putting everything out. It was such a happy day, just bouncing around the house with the Christmas music playing.

While I'm not Buddy the Elf, I am thankful that the holiday season is one of excitement and cheerfulness. And I'm glad that I get spend extra time with my family.
