When Amy and Jim came over for Christmas dinner they seemed stupefied by the amount of stuff I had out, but I felt it wasn&#8217;t really over the top, and not more than other people have?  I sent a video of all the decor to Bev, who said that I just had more lights inside than many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to me the lights are the best part, little bits of color to offset the grey skies and biting temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d14.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d14-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the barrister bookcase behind the couch is this display of some very old decorations that were grandmother&#8217;s combines with some new things.  This is where Lester nightly climbs around on, when it&#8217;s usually covered with delicate pieces of china I bought in London, teacups and little boxes and things.  He&#8217;s never broken anything, but just wants to get our attention so we&#8217;ll feed him.  He only climbed amongst the Christmas stuff once this year, and I guess we didn&#8217;t hear him doing it, although we did hear him playing with something on the floor.  The next morning I picked up a tiny, ancient Santa Claus made of felt and pipe cleaners.  It sits on top of a very old sleigh, and somehow Les must have knocked it off.  But no damage done&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d15.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d15-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had some giant christmas bulb lights that I usually draped along the front, but when Kevin got them down from the garage rafters a few of them shattered.  He said that before, they&#8217;d bounce, so they must have worn out.  I threw them out, and he bought some cool blue lights that shimmered like they were falling blue rain, I think.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d16.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d16-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a very short video so you can see them in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jfFtDajS4k?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I baked sugar cookies but didn&#8217;t get around to decorating them til late in the afternoon on the 24th and I didn&#8217;t have a lot of time but spent more time than i&#8217;d alloted myself because I always get caught up in the decorating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d17.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d17-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have just a couple more christmas posts, and then on to 2021!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today is an incredibly dark day; it was raining when I got up and that turned to snow but now it&#8217;s just dark and grey and I&#8217;m not going anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ok then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">g.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like i&#8217;m done with Christmas now, tired of all the stuff that I put up everywhere.
