...to begin the holiday decorating

...this process is always so overwhelming.

So overwhelming that I usually like to do several other tasks at the same time.

• Laundry
• Cooking
• On-line Christmas shopping (this is a time warp trap I tell you)
• Cleaning
• Fielding disagreements amongst the cherubs

Thus, the process takes much longer than it is supposed to.

I'm still not done.

There are still tubs waiting to be unpacked and treasured items (e.g., the Elf Merry Okee) to find a spot to put hide.

Lucky me.

Perhaps they'll forget about this particular microphone by morning?
