Decorating For Christmas

Vacuum, dust, move the furniture around Make room for the tree, any where it will fit Hope the lights will work Where are those decorations? Another year, for the artificial tree-a rat has chewed the electric cord Patch it with some electrical tape and it works like magic A nice find-my after Christmas shopping decorations Stored neatly in the attic-it gives me a pre-Christmas thrill to find these forgotten Treasures, even some gifts for the children on my list. My son places all the ornaments in one spot on the tree, as usual But I wouldn't have it any other way.
