So one of the problems I'm facing just now is trying to rethink my entire Christmas decoration scheme. New house means I have to start clear the hell over again. I even bought new garland and lights because I was thinking with last year's holiday brain.
"I can use these! It will be easy to find a place for them!"
That is until I remember that I have to figure out what I'm going to have to do with ALL of these lights. (I'm almost reaching Point Griswald, ok?) Lets not forget that this Old House doesn't have near the amount of plugins our old Old House had. So now I've got to manage to get all crafty with extension cords.
And just where the hell are my extension cords??
I think the little goblin who eats one sock out of each pair has also decided to eat all of my five hundred and eighty thousand extension cords. They are nowhere to be found.
Not a one of them.
And today we're going to put up the tree. I had decided that we were going to wait until the 20th to do so, but since I'm really not feeling very festive this year, I want to get it up and out of the way so I don't have to fuck with it that close to Christmas, when I'm sure I won't be feeling festive at all.
Now this leads to trying to decide how to safeguard the tree from the cats. Should I dig a moat and fill it with piranhas? Surround it with electric fence?
I bet neither of those ideas would work. My cats are pretty sly. So I guess it's just keep fingers crossed and hope for the best.
Is Christmas over yet?
I'm ready to tie one on for New Year's.
