Today I climbed up in the hot attic and got all the Christmas decorations down. I then assembled the tree,broke a few ornaments trimming it,and realized I had no tinsel.

After untangling this mess,I went up on the roof and fought with gutter and shingle clips. I finally had them all in place,plugged them in and there's big sections that aren't working? (they all worked when I tested them 20 minutes earlier)

Now it's off to Walmart for lights and tinsel. There isn't a parking spot anywhere. I finally find one,and take the monorail to Walmart.

1 hour later I'm standing in line,and said to my wife

"Why Didn't We Just Leave The Decorating To Holland America"?

We have gone on Cruises the last 2 Christmas Holidays. The ship decorated,caroling in the lobby,and a friendly Indonesian soul wishing me a Merry Christmas,is the absolute best. Staying home I'm not so sure about?;)

I'm feeling sympathy pains just reading your sad tale. Fix yourself a nice cup of cocoa and pull out a cruise brochure. In the morning this will all seem like a bad memory. ;)

Good advice, Ruth. I can't add anything to it!

Go to youtube.com, search for Holland America and view a few nostalgic videos.

A very sensible thing to do...
...I'm heading to Seattle for Xmas - Maybe I should go knock on their door and swipe some chocolates for my pillow.
