A Christmas Tree And A Mouse In The House

Now you will bear

with me, won't you?

You know we have

new baby, 2 year old

and

C-Section Mom staying with us.

That means things get done

in bits and pieces.

However,

I did FINALLY get the

Christmas Tree up.

Here she is..she is all

red and white and green

all over.

Remember those old jokes-

What's black and white and

red all over-The answer was

a newspaper...

but we had

one naughty Catholic boy

 that always said-

A nun with a bloody nose :>O
Apologies to my Catholic friends...

no nuns were harmed in the

writing of this post.

Anyway..

without further ado..

I have lots of red bulbs,

dull dark red and

some that are shiny red ones..

along with a few

glittered silver birds

scattered here and there.

I also have a few silvery white

ornaments that look like

they have melted sugared frosting

running down them and

a few glassine snowflakes.

Did you ever notice that a

Candy Cane turned upside down

looks like a

J for Jesus?

I bought some large faux

mercury ornaments last year.

A little reindeer finds himself

hanging from a branch..

And the teardrop ornaments

nestle up next to candy canes.

You will smile at seeing this..

the only ornament that is

does not "conform" to

Ball-Like Standards...

After all-What tree

DOESN'T need a Starbucks ornament?

So...we got it all decorated

and BigBoyE (age 2)

looked up at the tree,

pointed and said..

MHICKY MHOUSE!

What?

Mouse on MY tree?

Where?

Finger points to the top..

where there are

3 large ornaments tied

with a big bow with

streamers.

Ah~Yes~

I see it now!

I think I need to take that

LIGHT

out of Mickey's Ear.

A mouse in the tree is

better than a rat in the bed

if you ask me.
