In honor of Mimi coming next week I decorated the house for Christmas. I went and got a tree from the Keerst sellers. There are farmers set up on the side of the road selling trees. For him it was a non English transaction and for me it was a hand signal phenomenon. Luckily asking to pet one’s dog is universal and I got to visit with the German shepherd that was on the lot and belonged to the farmer. At first my tree looked a little sparse but I got inventive and put my swarrt peet’s into the tree, some cards I received from friends and did a tad bit of ornament shopping. I admitted to Chris that I miss our beautiful fake tree—and all my gorgeous turquoise and pink ornaments. Luckily I even got more authentic German ornaments last weekend from Silvia when we went to her house for the Christmas markets in Germany!
