O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree . . . Today was Christmas tree day. 
Shadow and I got our tree this morning and when I got it out of the car, Shadow immediately attacked it. But in the house, it is sitting up on a box, out of the reach of puppy attacks. I have the lights and lace trim on it, but not the ornaments. That will happen tomorrow. I spent time talking on the phone with Justin and then finalizing the purchase of gifts for Ziggy and Coco. Tomorrow I hope to get Justin and Jo’s presents ordered so that I don’t have to worry about them not getting there on time. This evening I went over to Heather and Jed’s to go with them for the 7 pm lighting of the town Christmas tree on the Green.

They got their tree today as well and when I arrived it was fully decorated and beautiful. It was cold on the Green tonight. The temp was in the 30’s but due to humidity, it felt like 21 degrees F. Brrrrr. But the boys enjoyed listening to the town band play Christmas songs. Sam and Jonah found friends to hang out with, but Ollie was wide-eyed with Christmas amazement and was not going to stop watching the band until the end. Jonah left and then returned to listen to White Christmas with Heather. She loves the song and so does he, so they hugged and sang together. When we arrived, Santa walked by walked by where we were standing and again Ollie’s eyes got as big as saucers. Before we left the Green, even though he was freezing, Ollie walked to see his favorite decoration on the Green, Santa and his reindeer, with Rudolph leading the pack. Tomorrow is the Christmas Parade and it is going to be a cold one. All of the Goldstones are in the parade this year, so I am going with Karen Baranowski as Peter is also in the parade.
