So after Shannon got home from work yesterday, we setup the Christmas things that we have. The tree is qiute a bit wider then I think we thought it would be and now takes up a sizable chunk of the living room. It looks pretty good.

The LED lights look good, blue and white as they are. We could've gotten diffrent colors but that is the theme that shannon is going for. We certainly don't have as many ornaments as my parents, but we've got a good start and many years to collect them.

We tried to put the tree in a corner, but my efforts to move the etertainment center proved very fruitless, and so it'll stay in front of the middle window. It allows for the people outside to see it too, when we have the shade raised. This morning we were treated to a very beautiful sunrise out that window (since it hasn't been open since it creates so much glare in the room).

We hung the stockings, including the kitty paws stockings.

All the new things and movement and boxes made the kittys curious and George extra curious. So we had to keep chasing him out of the room.

Christmas is still a ways away...but we're getting prepared.
