...wow Lily!...your place makes mine look like a complete hovel.....we have a couple of poinsettia placemats out and a mini-live Christmas tree on the table...and the tree has become the life's purpose of my cat Calvin-he is deforesting it every chance he gets...and to be fair, we aren't in a rush, because my son has leave AFTER Christmas,we'll be having our gathering then-so we can just kind of plug along till he gets here...also, I'm just very melancholy and out of sorts about decorating at all this season...not sure why...I honestly could give a good rip if we EVER decorate, and that bugs me-coz I'm a professional grump & curmudgeon but not a Humbug...
