I hung a wreath on my door and put some garland on my mantle. Decorating done. I am married to Scrooge and that could have something to do with it! And I don't have any presents to put under the tree...just give to the great niece and nephews...checks are in the mail! It might have something to do with the fact that the stores started putting out their Christmas stuff before Halloween this year and it got old quickly. Merry Christmas to all!Jeanne Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550965671847655936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-36641186986814670112010-12-14T17:47:57.587-05:002010-12-14T17:47:57.587-05:00Speaking of weather, it has been crazy lately, 70 ...Speaking of weather, it has been crazy lately, 70 mile an hour wind the other night shredded our teepee to bits and then a high of 57 degrees here the other day.

Can I come in?? :) If I had your property on which to walk, I would most likely brave these bitter temps as well. :) I have been a bit melancholy lately as well, not much blog reading and not much posting.
