Christmas has exploded in Salem

One of the perks of being unemployed is that I have a lot of time on my hands... And one of my "jobs" this week has been decorating for Christmas. We got our tree on Sunday and, thanks to my recent rearranging spree, we had to put the tree in the kitchen because we couldn't find a perfect spot in the living room / dining room. However, I went out and bought a smaller tree that fits perfectly in the living room window looking out on our patio. It's definitely a Charlie Brown tree, but I love it. I also bedazzled our mantel. Our entire house now smells like Christmas.
