seasonal decor

I decided when I woke up this morning that we should Deck our Halls* tonight after dinner. We have been having a rather ascetic holiday season with both of us getting the coughing sneezing stuffy head pounding headache sickness that always perfectly coincides with The Season. 'Tis the season to blow your nose a lot.

But anyway, I thought we should try to inject this week with some cheer, and decorate. So I spruced up the table to set the mood. And found a box of Christmas decorations for later merry-making. I really wanted to get a Charlie Brown Christmas tree this year, but I don't know if that will happen, as Christmas is only one week away, and I don't know that we would get enough mileage out of it. I saw three people carrying a Charlie Brown Christmas tree home on the L train last weekend. Poor little sad tree with only a few floppy branches to decorate and needles dropping everywhere. I immediately liked them. A lot.


*which I hope just means 'seasonal decorating' because that's all I'm trying to convey here.
