As you know, I've been decorating the last few days and cleaning as I go. The decorating is declared finished. Things are put away and cleaning has been done. The last load of laundry is running now. And it is going to be a "Five Guys" night for supper!
Pictures of the trees, etc. will be coming soon.
There was a sad few moments during the tree decorating. We have collected our Star Trek ornaments for years, ever since Hallmark started selling them. Originally the plan was to take a bulb out of your string of lights and plug in the ornament to make it work. Over the years, light strings evolved and LED came into use, and the ornaments would not plug in. We bought the adapters that were created. Those worked for quite a few years, but the light strings continued to change. And honestly, because of age, some of the ornaments just did not work any longer. But we still love them and want them on the tree. So first thing today I got the light string out and tested each ornament. I confirmed they did not work. And then after discussion, I just cut the wires off and hung all the spacecraft on the tree. They still look good, they just don't light up or say anything. The newer ones have batteries and they are okay.
We were pretty well caught up on our recorded TV shows last evening so we watched "Christmas Chronicles" on NetFlix. It was a very good movie and Kurt Russell is an excellent Santa! If you can, watch it. Hopefully someday it will be out on DVD.
Life is great! Stay safe and God Bless America!
