Christmas is almost upon me.... do I scream in agony?!.... no I do not.... I face it resolutely, knowing that I can't be any more prepared than I am. The outdoor lights are up, the tree is up and decorated, the living room is cleaned up... well at least better than it was, house looks as Christmassy as it can, carols have been playing for days, all gifts are done or bought and wrapped, the groceries are bought and put away.... (and you can hardly notice the $700.00 worth that I bought! I'm disgusted).... the Christmas email/poem that I write each year is done and sent.... I think I'm done. Now I can sit and knit or spin.... yeah!
We've ordered a wardrobe for Daughter #2's bedroom. It has nothing to do with Christmas. It was supposed to arrive on the 28th of December.... it showed up yesterday. Hubby was off with the truck so today we will be picking it up and setting it up. This is an unexpected chore. But we want to get it done instead of having it hanging over us.
Hubby is in the kitchen making bagels and lox. He smoked the lox last night and the dough for the bagels is in the bread maker. Today he will boil the bagels dip them in sesame seeds and then pop them into the smoker before baking them.... yum.... I love Montreal style bagels and cream cheese with lox.... normally we have on Christmas morning either raisin molasses bread or cranberry bread that I make.... but Hubby took the initiative this year and made homemade bagels. I can't wait to try them.
For another tip on getting in the Christmas mood.... drink tea with your Hubby... (you need a Hubby like mine).... laughing with your Daughters.... (you need Daughters like mine)..... listening to Christmas music.... but not too much.... and generally being happy.
My best tip for the Christmas spirit.... go to your nearest church for a Christmas Eve service, join your voice to the voices of others and sing old familiar carols, listen to the readings, think about that oh so profound night 2000 years ago, pray, think of world wide peace, listen to the church bells, wish people a Merry Christmas, visit friends, head home to put all your secrets under the tree, chuckle lots, get your cozy pjs on and say a prayer for me... I'll being praying for you....
Merry Christmas

Christmas Nuthouse
I can safely say that the way to lose any budding Christmas spirit you might be starting to feel is to go shopping anytime in the last four days before Christmas.... you will feel like you just had a bowel movement on your own head.... then wonder how that happened!
Holy Crap There's Only Two Days Left?
I got it into my head to make pinecone wreaths for two of our friends and I'm down to the wire.... two days to go... but at least the service is done for Christmas Eve. I'm presiding over the Christmas Eve service since our minister retired last winter and this is no small thing let me tell you. Hubby and I are headed to town to finish the grocery shopping and take the ill fated stupid artificial tree back to the creeps at the upscale store I told you about.... really they're not that bad.... I think it was a dud tree.... a lemon.... Anyway I have a few stocking stuffers to pick up and I need to get some embellishments for the two wreaths.... and I'm done. Tomorrow Hubby and the girls are going to a friends house for sliding but I will stay home and finish printing the bulletins for the Christmas eve service, wrap the last of the gifts and straighten candles for the candle light service..... (they've been stored in a box in the basement of the church hall for a year and so I will have to clean them up a little). I am hoping to have Christmas Eve day just for fun with the Daughters and Hubby.
Hubby and I have made a decision to walk two kilometres every day unless it is below -30 degrees, then we will stay home and think about it. : ) It is just too frigid for me when it gets below -30.
I have the decorating done for Christmas here at Nicholsville farm but the clean up is not done so I'm hoping to post pictures tomorrow of the job we've done once again in our little log home. We even did a little work in the kitchen and finished the breakfast bar though I need an electrical fix in order to plug in my toaster, bread maker and coffee perk.... other than that it looks great. The door is still not on my pantry.... but I have lots of storage.... mind you if I had tons of storage I'd still find a way to fill it and want more.... there never seems to be enough storage.
Today I will give you tip #2 on how to get the Christmas feeling. If your spouse and family are sleepers in, it bodes well to wake a little early and in the quiet of the morning come to your living space that contains your tree, turn on the lights and just sit in the dark with JUST the tree lights and listen to the silence...... Christmas is there in the silence. That's what Mary and Joseph heard when they were in that stable, that is what the shepherds heard after the angels left. The quiet of the night gives you ample time to hear Christmas in your soul.
Merry Christmas.

Ahhh! Sweet Holidays At Last
It is Monday morning and does it ever feel nice to wake slowly and get up slowly and the Daughters are still in bed sleeping.... Hubby is making breakfast. Tea is forth coming and the tree dilemma has been solved. (sigh... a nice relaxed sigh).
Yesterday, when daylight finally came Hubby and I took a couple of cups of hot chocolate and headed off toward FSJ to look for a tree. We felt that if we found a real tree somewhere along the highway, well and good, we would cut it down and be happy. But if we didn't find one before we got to FSJ then when we got there, we would make a bee-line for Canadian Tire and buy an artificial tree and be done with it. I am happy to say that we never made it to FSJ. We instead, stopped at a well known road side pullout. Off to the right of the road side pullout is a road that leads to an old gravel pit. Trees are growing in this old gravel pit but they are very stunted and grow slowly because of course a gravel pit does not have good soil.... the result is we found one of the nicest trees we've ever had.... what's more is we found another one for our ..... ooops I can't say what we are doing yet.... we also found next year's tree too. We've marked the tree and we will go back for it next year. So I am happy to say that I will not have to purchase a artificial tree for a while yet. Tomorrow the artificial tree that we bought over the weekend will go back for hopefully a full refund which will give me a little more money to spend on Hubby's stocking which is looking like he was a bad boy all year.
When we got home with the tree we discovered that it is bigger than we thought. Hubby was about to lob off a foot or so from the bottom when I got a brilliant idea. It meant moving around furniture again but we have a dining room, a living room, a studio (small), and a tree room!..... I can't wait to finish decorating so that I can post some pictures here. The whole effect is brilliant.
What a difference one day can make... yesterday, Christmas sucked.... today.... well I don't love it but it is a whole lot better than it was!
I think partially because the church pageant is over. It went really well. One of my Knock-out Knitters came. It is great when people come to church that don't normally go. It makes you feel like what you do for the church is worthwhile after all. Thanks L I'm glad you were there.
Christmas eve service is next. I have to work on that since I will be presiding. And though this is the first time I will have presided over the Christmas Eve service, I am not worried about it. It will be lovely.
Gifts wrapped, house decorated, tree up, not too bad for someone who isn't a Christmas aficionado.
One of my favorite Christmas stories is... A Redbird Christmas. If you want to get in the mood here's a sure fire way of doing so....
1. Borrow A Redbird Christmas by Fanny Flagg from your local library....
2. Place it strategically by your favorite comfortable chair....
3. Boil a kettle of water and while doing so, spoon some Carnation Hot Chocolate into your favorite mug....
4. Poor into the powder, three tablespoons of store bought eggnog and stir vigorously.....
5. Poor over this mixture enough boiling water to fill mug.....
6. Sit down in your favorite chair where you located the book earlier....
7. Begin reading and occasionally sipping from the mug of Eggnog Hot Chocolate...
8. Enjoy.....
Merry Christmas!

Fir or Pine... No Luck There
The decorating is almost done and most of the clean up is done, and I only have a few items left to wrap. There is only one problem... we still don't have a tree... it has become a dilemma.
Hubby took the Daughters shopping yesterday while I spent a lovely afternoon with my spinners and weavers group in FSJ for our annual potluck Christmas luncheon and gift exchange. I did not partake of the gift exchange since this year I just didn't get it finished in time. But it was great fun to watch the other ladies doing their thing with their made items. I hate pressure and though I started a tote ages ago I ran out of spun wool for it and while I wanted to order more I reall couldn't justify buying another pile of rovings to Hubby. Then when I went to make a different one, I just didn't get time to finish it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Dummy here forgot to bring along her camera though which was really stupid. I had intended on posting the pics.
After the party was over Hubby picked me up and I was happy to note the box in the back of the truck with an artificial tree in it. Finally we had made a decision and we would have a tree forever after. No more waiting till the 20th to put up the real tree... no more Charlie Brown Christmas trees. No more cutting trees in frigid air at dusk just because we had to get one soon or it would be dark.... no, we would have a tree and the darn thing would be up next year right after Daughter #1 birthday and no more cleaning up from the decorations on on the 24th...... at long last our problems were solved. We headed home satisfied that Christmas was prepared for and all was right in the world.
Not!
The artificial tree we bought is a dud. I have never seen a more stupid tree in my life. The dumb thing was falling apart as soon as we touched it. The branches were falling off and it just looked dumb. The bottom third had no limbs at all. It was a five foot tree on a seven foot tree post. We could of cut off the bottom 18 inches and not hit a branch. Hubby packed it back in it's box and back to FSJ it goes on Monday. I'm not quite sure what we are going to do now... that upside down tree is looking better all the time. Hubby and I trudged around in the dark looking for a likely real candidate but all the trees around here are too wimpy. The branches are not likely to withstand the onslaught of decorations. We even drove a ways up the road in hopes that we would find something in the road allowance. Nadda.... nothing.... zero.... zip.... goose egg....
You have never seen a more disappointed bunch of people than the whole lot in this house. I would never have thought that the store (which is an upscale store) we bought this tree from would sell crap.
I am waiting patiently till it is light enough to see.... and I'm going to find a tree. I am past giving a d--n.... THERE WILL BE A TREE IN THIS HOUSE TOMORROW! I don't care if I have to make one.
Hubby started talking about Christmas tree farms the other day after listening to a really interesting interview on CBC with a fellow who started a Christmas tree farm.... Hubby said it was something he had always thought about doing. A Christmas tree farm might just be the ticket.... it would solve all my problems with Christmas trees. I'd never have to worry about where I was going to get one ever again because it would be growing right outside my door! The whole world would abound with Christmas trees!
In the meantime..... 3 more hours before it is light!
Hi ho, hi ho, a Christmas tree hunting I'll go.....

Dull Roar
Things seem to have settled down to a dull roar in the last few days. I'm sure it will pick up again when school closes today. I didn't even have to make breakfast today since there is a pancake breakfast this morning at the school. The kids went out the door in a mad tear as per usual. Then I promptly pulled the front porch to pieces!
When I first moved to our little log house the front (and only) door to this house was in my kitchen and kids and Hubby alike would come through the door and promptly drop everything on the floor. I spent half my time tripping over footwear and mits and hats and gloves when I was trying to cook. I made short work of that because by the following year I had shortened our living room and put an entry to the house on the North side of the deck. The door in the kitchen became the door to the deck and nothing else. Hats and mittens and scarves were now dumped in the front porch.
I realized very quickly that the front porch was becoming a catch-all. Everything that Hubby and the girls didn't know what to with got dumped in there and the corner became a rats nest for papers that were no longer needed for school, mits that were no longer one of a pair, and dust and dirt like you've never seen. Hats that didn't make it to the hooks provided, were thrown on the floor and left forgotten in the mess. Occasionally I would have a fit and get the girls to spend an afternoon sorting through the pigsty. But lately I've noticed that the mess was getting worse and things were going missing and there was no rhyme or reason for the bits of crap that was found in there. In the recent moving around of the house, I have managed to come up with a really nice bureau (highboy or chest of drawers for you folks who don't know that old word) that was empty. An empty chest of drawers was just the ticket for a cleanup in the front porch. So that is what I did this morning.
I gutted the front porch and swept and cleaned the floor replaced old hooks with nice new ones and cleaned out the closet. I even have a mirror to put on the wall for those vain enough to want to look at themselves before going out the door. Each person in the house was assigned a drawer for their hats, mits/gloves, and scarves. Wow! What a difference. I have discovered that the Daughters have no complete set of mits or gloves, that hats are severely scarce for both and that Daught #1 has only one scarf while Daughter #2 has none. I have oddles of leather gloves that the girls have outgrown (their hands are bigger than mine), that Daughter #1 has lost not only her gloves that she uses for riding but one of my work gloves that I loaned her for ridng lessons and she never returned, that there are tons of baseball type hats that no one wears, that Hubby has the most hats and gloves of anyone in the house and certainly doesn't need anymore as it is hard to cram anything else in the drawer and that the Daughter and I are seriously low on accessories. So later this morning after it gets to be daylight I am going out to the shed to see if I can find any of the matching gloves and mittens that lie forlornly on the floor, to find the mirror for the front porch and to finish sorting out the winter gear that's needed by the Daughters. Then tomorrow, when I go shopping for a few more things for Christmas there will be gloves and mittens galore on the list (but not for Hubby he doesn't need it)!
Boy.... does it ever feel good to get that pigsty delt with..... one room finished for Christmas.... yeah! I wonder if there is time to knit hats and mits for the girls.... hmm!

Well Thank Heavens For That
I'm home and there were no furnace explosions, no house burnings, and best of all nothing froze, or gave out and the water is still running. Mind you every one I talked to today were positively jovial about the balmy temperatures. I mean -21.... I was walking between stores today with my jacket wide open. I felt like I was walking around in the tropics.... especially with all those tacky fake palm trees that Canadian Tire and every box store seems to want to sell.... give me a break palm trees.... a good pine or fir will beat out a palm tree any day for Christmas.... mind you with global warming, you never know... in a few years we might just have palm trees growing around here..... WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT..... THIS IS THE HOUSE WHERE HELL JUST FROZE OVER!!!!!! Global warming my ..... I won't use that word.
Anyway.... Christmas.... shopping is mostly done. Shipping however, is not.
The decorating progresses..... I'm assuming that you've noticed a total lack of pictures lately.... that's because I'm saving them till the end when all the Christmas decorating is done. Besides, I have to dig out another bunch of Christmas stuff from the shed... Tomorrow is gift wrap day.... that should be fun.... Frankie gets stuck to the gift wrap with the tape.... I'm notoriously all thumbs (erp!!!) when I handle gift wrap and tape..... You know all the pictures you see of perfect trees with perfect parcels etc.... that's not me or my house.... we figure if the paper covers it all well and good. Why stick a bow on something your only going to rip apart in a few days..... although I do have to say I'm really liking those Christmas bags. No if I could get away with wrapping stuff in garbage bags (hey! they're reusable) or newspaper (that's recycling folks) I'd do it in two shakes of a lambs tail.....
In other news.... I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out triangles into totes (I can't explain that one as too many people read this blog will know what I mean and it will spoil the surprise). The HH spinners and weavers have rescheduled their Christmas party due to lack of people for the original date. I bought a wreath hanger which was stupid since I already hung my wreath. I've already blown one Christmas gift even though it's not Christmas yet and Hubby was supposed to get that one. I'm freaking out because some of the volunteer work that I do is way behind, not to mention other commissioned things that don't really inspire me and level 3.... be still my beating, panicked, and freaking out heart.... it will all work out in the end right? When hell freezes over.... oh yeah... it already did.... well that's a relief... pressures off... thank heavens for that!!!
Don't worry I'm just having a schizophrenic conversation again..... I think I'll go visit hell for a minute and just put my brain on freeze!
