The GOP, Fairy Trees, the Grinch, 43 Years, Lemon Meringue Pie, & Scantily Clad Men Holidays seem be a natural downer for me but I've given myself permission not be in a constant "Merry "Ho Ho Ho" X-mas" mode. Every year, I take the table top tree out the closet, plug it in, place the Grinch bulb on it and tell O'Malley the Elf on the Shelve to have fun. The year 2020 has been a downer itself. It could have been worse. I ended up managing the local GOP club due to a series of circumstance. We flipped the county red along with the rest of West Virginia. I liked the Trump Train a whole lot better than I did the Women's March. I was elected the 2021 East Regional Vice President of the local GOP club. My Higher Power has a wicked sense of humor. I decided to do something a tad bit more uplifting than plugging in the table top tree in the closet. I took a trip to the dollar store and found some Fairy Lights and a few inexpensive decorations. I picked up some branches on the sidewalk to my home. I put everything together and VOILA!!!!! I have a Fairy Light Spirt Tree. The Grinch and O'Malley are delighted. My teetotalling sister called me and asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my 43 anniversary. I told her Lemon Meringue Pie and scantily clad men. Every year I ask for scantily clad men and every year I don't get scantily clad men. God has more sense that I do. Nevertheless, the Lemon Meringue Pie was incredible. My teetotalling sister baked it herself.     Abracadabra  |

I felt sorry for the Tree in the Closet that I took it out and plugged it in. I suspect that it will be going the the local thrift shop for rehoming. Abracadabra

First off..... congratulations, my friend, on your anniversary! It's not how or if we decorate for the Christmas season, it's if we carry the meaning of it in our hearts, and I believe you do. Decorations reflect the person's personality, not the holiday. My best friend, Duck, had a "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. It suited him, just as yours suits you. My daughter just gave me two ornaments, made out of a thin cut of wood. One has my murdered son's picture on one side and his name and dates on the other and the other ornament has the same for the son in law who died of a heart attack last January. She knows I do not put up a tree anymore, but if I did, it was a memory tree with ornaments all the way back to when the kids made them. Now, special ornaments are hung on the hooks on the mantle. Now, about that pie...... ah, forget it. Probably would not travel well in the mail. LOL Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Absolutely, congratulations. I had been looking forward to results of your bad ass fairy garden competition. Did I miss the finale?
