Well, in order to save some time with this year's preparation, Number One Son volunteered to put up one of our Christmas trees. As you may remember from posts past, we usually decorate three Christmas trees. In early December, with Sweet Pea's help, I was able to assemble, light and decorate two of our trees but ran out of weekend for the last one. So as another busy Sunday night had us running Sweet Pea to volleyball practice, I offered N1S a project to keep him from thinking about the Wii time he had already spent.
"While we are gone, you can put up the tree to help me out.", I asked.
Surprisingly, he said OK.
On the drive back home, I wondered what kind of job N1S did. Would the small branches be on the bottom? Would anything break? How bad would the tree lean?
My fears, however, were unnecessary.
He did a pretty good job. It even looked like he started to shape a few of the branches. Like maybe about three. But then decided on the natural scraggly look with bare spots to show off the metal pole.
And just like any good assembly job, you always are left with a few spare parts right? I asked, "Wouldn't these three branches fit?"Distractedly he answered from the couch, "Oh I don't know. They must have been extra."
I thanked him anyway for saving me time and effort this season. We decorated the trees the same way as last year. The only difference being that Sweet Pea did most of the kid tree decorating.
If you look closely you'll notice that Mr. Spock must have gotten a puppy from Santa this year to help him at his science station.
As did Dr. McCoy.
So boldly celebrate Christmas, where no one has celebrated before!
