Christmas Preparation part one

Note that this is part one, even though part two (when it comes) will before these photos in order...

First don your best hat and shawl.  Sit on the ugliest green sheet you can find.

Then dress in black and Christmas colors to play at a local tour of homes as background music. 

Then play the "barnyard sounds" game until your family take it away.

Start the advent calendar 5 days in advance (this keeps it interesting)

Smile beside the tree for your photo!

Keep smiling!

Build a fire!!! 

Take a photo of your lovely sister.

Group as many large red, string balls on one branch as possible

Deck the halls with twinkle lights

collect the stuffed ornaments of Rudolph, Santa, and the Christmas Penguin and HUG them!!!!

Continue to build the fire....

Film this entire event because you have to see it to believe it.

Set up the clay nativity!!!!!!

Um... I can only say... It looks better in person.

Hang your cat on the highest ladder.
