In his busy life he somehow makes the time to come to LI from Brooklyn for the sole purpose of getting the house ready for Christmas. In recent years as I've gotten older and lazier, I've thought about cutting back on the decorations. No way! Every year all the decorations must go up, sometimes with new variations, until he is happy with the result. So you may be creating your own decorating monster and not realize it yet.<br />As usual, you created a beautiful story which is what this blogging challenge is all about.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988999290497318131.post-74349346464710750352015-03-21T18:30:38.880-04:002015-03-21T18:30:38.880-04:00When I was younger, I used to love decorating the ...When I was younger, I used to love decorating the home for the holidays with my mom.

I like how you painted the scene and then stepped out of it to explore your thinking. This was a lovely way to capture this small moment so that it does not fade as he gets older. I am learning the "scrapbook" effect of my own blog through this experience.
