Among the sounds of Christmas, people usually consider a lilting, sort of tinkling tune means holiday bells.
Sadly, over the weekend that was not the case at the Reddell household.
Let me lay it all out for you guys.
In keeping with the usual post-Thanksgiving family tradition, we got a handful of Christmas ornament and decoration boxes out of the attic.
Despite mom wanting to do two trees with year, I reminded her that we didn’t have room for the second tree this year and with her mounting the TV over the fireplace, we lost the room for mantel decorations, too.
These facts made for significantly less boxes than the norm and I’m really glad for it.
Outside of that, we ended up going with my sister’s pick – the “Winter Wonderland” tree.
Now, I firmly believe that she should have lost the right to dictate that theme because she didn’t show up to help decorate, but, I was overruled by mom.
