Slacks for Ella Funt

Luckily, we received this year’s fruit basket from one of my vendors in much better shape than last year’s. Last year, I forgot to tell him I had moved, so the fruit basket sat in its box for a couple months at E’s old place before we discovered it. Needless to say, it didn’t look so good. Which didn’t stop us from digging out the bottle of cheap champagne and washing off the mold. The basket is much more attractive when it doesn’t look like a science experiment.
We decorated our Christmas tree over the weekend. Somehow, even though I bought two more strands of lights for this year’s tree, we still ran out when we got to the top. Our tree will just have to be a little brighter at the bottom. I am quite pleased with it and we had a good time decorating it, drinking mulled cider and eggnog, and watching Bad Santa. I even finished the tree skirt this year that I started and left unfinished last year.
