deck the halls

ever since i have lived on my own i have never decorated my own place for christmas. some may call me a grinch, and i'm ok with that. well, my perfect record has now been ruined! last weekend when diana and i were at my parents for thanksgiving my mom asked if we wanted a christmas tree. i absent-mindedly agreed. we didn't take it with us then, so mom and papa offered to come this weekend to see us and bring the tree with them. diana was excited to have a tree, and i realized it was time to bite the bullet on this one, so we said yes. they came down saturday around 1:00pm and brought us a nice christmas tree. it was really good to see them, even poco was excited (he has taken quite a liking to papa!) we unloaded the tree and set it up in the corner of our living room. its quite thin and fits perfectly. i ran out to the shed to get the christmas tree decorations jill and tim had given us last christmas (they knew i didn't stand a chance of not having a tree once i got a wife!) and we began filling the tree. diana had a box of old ornaments she had saved from when she was a child- they were really cute! as we decorated the tree i slowly came around and realized that decorating for the holidays can be fun. i guess you win this round, tree...
