There it is... The family Christmas Tree is up at the Ricci household, and thus, Christmas Season is now upon us.... This year's tree is smaller than last year, from what I'm told. The last tree was 14 feet high and cost $900, but Joe tossed it out because he couldn't put stuff on top without getting an AFLAC policy... Kinda like dumping your supermodel girlfriend because she spends too much.
The whole Christmas thing has been pretty foreign to me for the past decade. I haven't even put up a tree since 2004, and I figured out that the last time we had a family tree decoration party was about 1985...... We always did Christmas a bit different.. We put up the tree on December 18th - Grandpa's Birthday - and took it down January 6th - the 12th day of Christmas, so there was a method behind the madness.
It's going to be an interesting year. A Christmas with little kids getting all excited , waiting for Santa to come. And also a Christmas with Christmas-like weather! There's just something not right with wearing shorts on Christmas Day.... It's not here yet - 50 degrees and sunny today - but it's coming!
