It’s beginning to look like Christmas around here….

Today I pulled the Christmas  decorations out of the crawl space.

Alex groaned.   He usually does that, because it means bringing boxes up and down the steps for me.  (I’m afraid to count how many boxes there are.)

I actually think he just does that to tease me.  He will always do it when I ask, he just groans first.  Chris would do the same thing.  It’s like a tradition or something around here.

I’m having to readjust where I’m putting some things because of (cough) mischievousness cats, but I did manage to get through at least seven or eight boxes.  There are more pieces that I probably won’t be putting out, and I’ve yet to put out the North Pole Series, however, here are the twinkling lights at night.  They just make me smile.  I can’t help it.

Snapshot Saturday

In the back of my mind has been this task of finishing my picture organizing.  I started a lonnnng time ago when scrap booking first gained popularity with creating pages, and putting my photos in some semblance of order.

Then I stopped.

I didn’t take as many pictures.

I got a digital camera.

The project really took a nosedive.  With all my new photos stored electronically, and none being added to “the pile”, I didn’t really do anything with what I had.

So, while looking for a photo of my first Thanksgiving meal, and not finding it,  I thought “Snapshot Saturday” would be a good way to start going through my small stacks large plastic containers of photos.  I could organize them, and perhaps share some here.  That is, unless they are truly awful.  That might be the case.

Because it is the holidays, and I’m in a seasonal mood, I’d thought I’d share one of us from years ago at a Christmas Party.  This is when I worked at an engineering consulting firm which had various employee functions.  This shot is from one of the annual Christmas Dinners, I’m guessing around 1984 or 1985.  The color isn’t the greatest.  Like I said, there could be some awful pictures, quality included.

The company would have a Christmas Dinner and a Christmas Party.  They were different. The parties were a little livelier.   Somewhere I have pictures from a Christmas Party, I believe of a conga line.  🙂
