Christmas Tradition: Decorating the Tree

The day after Thanksgiving is when we always try to decorate for Christmas.

Autumn had to work later on that Black Friday so we had to do it in the morning up to lunch.

Have to have Christmas music to decorate to!

There are a few holiday favorites that we like to have on the holidays.  Punch pop (Hawaiian punch and 7-UP) and pickle rolls!  Since we didn't have them on Thanksgiving, we had our own on Friday.

Our Christmas tree that we have had since our very first Christmas as a married couple!  Still using it - 21 years old.

Dad puts the branches on.  Mom does the lights.  Kids do the ornaments.  LOL!

Figaro and her fat self on Summer's lap and Captain Jack on the loveseat watching the action.

For lunch, we had leftovers plus some.  Leftover turkey, mac and cheese, noodle gravy, deviled eggs.

I made carrots and mashed potatoes to round out our meal.

We also had apple pie and vanilla bean ice cream.

After the decorating, Summer and I played Battleship.  Captain Jack was interested or maybe was just letting her know that was a wrong move.  Ha!

New ornament this year from our trip to Crater Lake National Park.

And our ornament from our trip to Glacier National Park.

Figaro seems fairly uninterested in the tree this year.  Last year, she was still a kitten and terrorized the tree.  LOL!  She's too fat and lazy this year.
