As the weather was beautiful for late November today and yesterday Doug decided to get the outside Christmas decorations up. Once he got started Meg and I followed suit by getting out the rest of the decorations. It always takes longer than I expect it to, but we made a lot of progress these past two days and only have the North Pole village to set up tomorrow. It really helps that we have developed a routine for decorating these past several years. All of the santas have a shelf, the stockings are always hung by the fireplace, the advent calendar has its own place and the Peanuts gang has made its home on the piano.
Meg was a huge help to me this year and was even able to solicit Cam's participation in decorating the tree at least until the football game started. Meg laughed as she thought of all of the households listening to Christmas music or watching Christmas movies while putting up their Christmas tree. In the Heinisch home it was IU football on the big screen while we decorated. Overall, I was extremely pleased with how well decorating went this year and how wonderful the house looked when we finished.
