OK IT’S DONE WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL – CHRISTMAS 2020

OK, the tree is up and decorated. I do not understand what the big deal was? After hacking this behemoth out of the forest; I then unloaded, unpacked and applied decoration to this monster, with the minimum of issues. Even if I have to say myself, it looks splendid and might be one of my best “works of art” ever!

I accomplished this with the least amount of trauma. It was not the same for ol’ Bubbaloo and Ange, not to mention my daughter in-law A’s offer of senior’s assistance. They all seemed to get quite traumatized. Last night when I had to stop, take a break and let my steely calm nerves take over, everyone else “wigged out on me”. Ange was trying to pound some Christmas Spirit into me, Bubbaloo was trying to threaten some Christmas Spirit into me, Amy was offering to lend her Christmas Spirit to me, and all the while I remained “icy”. I laid down and rested my body and my mind, preparing for the home-run stretch in the morning. I was the picture of peace and love.

This morning, I arose both mentally and physically refreshed and ready for action. I attacked straight away. Very quickly I was making inroads. What, you might ask was the secret? I will tell you in one word, ATTITUDE! My normal good and positive attitude was back and guiding my hand. I killed the lighting issue and never cussed once. After that, I wisely chose the best place for each and every gewgaw, matching colors and styles in a most masterful way. I am done, ol’ Bubbaloo came along and blessed it, all the while complimenting me on how well I handled the trying situation. For those of you slugs, that have not yet, cut, trimmed, erected and decorated the tree this year, I have one piece of advice. Follow in the footsteps of JimboRed, keep a good attitude and you can accomplish marvels.
