This year, the tree went up earlier than it would normally. Usually, we gather as a family to put the tree up during the first week of December. This year, we're collectively too busy to put it up then, so now was the only time we had.
There wasn't much to put up, but it was fun.
Alex played football this morning and was completely knocked out, so he missed the entire occasion. It wasn't the same without him. There were no arguments about the gaudy string of beads or flashy, multicoloured lights he likes so much.
It's like an annual battle. How much of the tree's dignity we can save from him.
Because his taste is...well...different.
Heh.
So with Christmas music blasting from the oversized television in the den, we all got to work and emptied the three boxes stuffed with Christmas decorations. (save the gaudy beads and ugly ribbons.)
Adam was well behaved, for a change, and actually contributed. As usual, he got to put the star on top of the tree.
I've decided that he's cute from far away.
It was fun putting up all the stuff. Because we recycle most of our decorations, stuff from forever ago appears at around Christmas time. I have some decorations from the days in the Philippines. Which is awesome. Making me all nostalgic and stuff.
*sigh*
I love Christmas.

And on a side note, I found something awesome:
a black santa. :)

It's been a good day.
