Good Morning,
My kitchen is open again-all is wrapped!! I have finished my "absolutly must be done for Christmas" knitting. The necklace with the Maggie clasp looks nice and the Newfoundland Dog hair/wool socks for my son-in-law are wrapped. My index finger is killing me!!! My daughter's shrug is so cute and soft-I hope it fits-Phoenix Bess must have anorexic arms. I may continue to knit on "possible" presents.
On a "it only happens to me" note-our 10ft. prelit tree is slowly dying. When we put it up one string of light at eye level were out and changing fuses and bulbs did nothing so I put my peek a boo Santa (his head peeks out from behind the tree and his arms wrap around it) that the Grandkids love in that spot. Problem solved? For a few days. Then I noticed the lights at the very top level were out. Damn. Again, no fuse or bulb replacement helped. I am afraid by Christmas the whole tree will have died. And now, it is all decorated and impossible to reach because it it surrounded with presents that stick out past the tree for 6 ft. NO, I am not taking it down and buying a new tree at this point. I no longer care- and my husband had fear in his eyes at the very thought that I might consider doing this. His little"2 monkeys and a yoyo"brain was spinning as he calculated the time factor of taking away the presents, undecorating,taking down the tree, shopping for a new tree,..well, you get the idea. Since my Marine daughter and Granddaughter are flying in Monday(God willing and the creek don't rise) I will let her deal with it. I'm tough(I did RAISE a Marine afterall) but she IS the Marine and if it positively has to be destroyed and rebuilt overnight she is the one to do it!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to all-may your knitting be finished and your family/friends delighted with it!!!!!!
