Each year, shortly after The Feast, we all enjoy the annual Lighting Ceremony here at the Thomasson residence. Tim and All Those Boys work really hard at lighting up our corner of the world, using only Christmas lights. This year, Tim got a wild hair and headed out to Wal-Mart. When he returned bearing a moving reindeer and spiral Christmas tree yard ornaments, we were all pretty excited. Until the star fell off the Christmas tree and the reindeer was found to be missing his ears. Obviously not made by American workers! I hated to see his mouth get tighter and tighter as these 'easy to assembly' holiday must-haves, just wouldn't go together. Or it could have been the fact that I insisted on getting pictures of this unfolding drama.
Well, as Ma Ingalls always said, 'All's well that ends well.' Indeed, after a little go-around with the customer service folks, we were all set. The Lighting Ceremony could go on as usual.
Whew! That was a close one.
Whew! That was a close one.
We love our little reindeer as he bobs his head at our spiral Christmas trees. So much so that we took some pictures right in front of them! Merry Christmas, everyone!
Early maybe, but nonetheless, heartfelt.
