bittersweet Christmas decorating

Aniki-Moderator's picture

We have four Christmas trees in our home this year. One in the skids' room, one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one down in the family room. It's a tradition that DH and I decorate the ones in the living room and kitchen together, and we and the skids do the one in their room. My Mother passed away 3 years ago. This summer, Dad asked if I wanted any of the old family ornaments and I said YES!! The one in the family room is new this year - specifically to be decorated with a lifetime of ornaments from my childhood.

poor delicate PrinceSS15

We were all standing in the kitchen, getting ready to take the skids back and our dog wagged his tail and "smacked" PrinceSS15 in the leg in mid-wag. OMG, you'd think the skid was whacked in the calf by a professional ballplayer hitting an out-of-the-stadium-homer. BTW, PrinceSS15 is 5'10" and weighs around 150 lbs.

PrinceSS15: Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, OOOOOWWW!!!
DH: WHAT is your problem???
PrinceSS15: Dog smacked me with his tail!!!
~crickets chirping~
Aniki: DH, you better let BioMonster know we'll be late since we're taking PrinceSS15 to the emergency room.
