THANKSGIVING TO CHRISTMAS IN THREE DAYS

Our God built the planet in seven days and nights. He must have a Hugh attic. Finally the Petticoat Dictator said the transformation from Thanksgiving to Christmas is offically over inside the house. It has been rise at eight and work into night for three days. All the decorations are stored in the crawl space in the attic. Everyday things will not be seen again until after the first. It is the same every Holiday, but Christmas is complete workover. Outside is another problem. It has been raining and storming for days and this morning it was snowing. God too had to work around such problems. I am totally amazed and once again put it on Faith.

The Dictator said no more Garage sales for you. Ok, we had eight Christmas Cookie jars. All beautiful and all different. How could I resist? Most were as cheap as fifty cents and most expensive five dollars. I am choosey, all have there original boxes.It is not the same with the colorful pie plates that are year round things. I have berry, I have apple, I have punkin, you get the message. I also have collector dolls. So many I had to buy her a enclosed thing with lights to display them. The good news the Christmas dolls fit in them too. It is really hard to put collector dolls in the attic with the outdoor furniture I got at a bargin for the winter.

I am on a leash. What are we going to do with all those baseball cards as cheap as I bought them if it is a dying collection and most are commons. OK, I need room for the Matchbox and Hotwheel cars that are also a phaze beginning to die out. Not to mention the Texico trucks that held state quarters until I realized they are only worth a quarter. I wised up and stopped collecting them. At least last years Christmas tree could be cut up and used for firewood. I can't waite for New Years Day and time to take out the Christmas and put up, or is it down the everyday stuff. I think my back will be healed by then.
