Wheee! I made my first Christmas trees of 2024 this morning!

I finally got off of my fatty acids and stopped at the Christmas tree place at Sun Valley mall. I think I mentioned that in a previous post. The guys there are from Oregon and come here every year. I talked to the guys and grabbed some branches and disks. But they only had a few disks there. In any case, I got my first two trees done for this year. I was in a lazy mood, but decided I had enough mojo to bring my materials inside and get to work. The gremlins actually did NOT hide my hammer this year. I have been bribing them with capos and guitar picks. I may stop and see if "the boys" saved some more disks for me after work. I'll attach a photo of "my trees" from a few years ago. How are you preparing for Christmas?

I love your little trees. I forget. Who do you give them to? I only had to purchase 3 gift cards. I have no other preparations with my husband gone. Have a good weekend.

Oh nice! I hope they saved you those disks too - it is a Horse tree necessity! I'm not having to prepare much this year . . . but at least we're going to put up the tree and all this weekend.

I've frozen a cake and made a slice (bar biscuits) but that's about it so far.
