Sean came over today and got the tree up from the basement and set it up. My mom helped him open up the branches. I sat in the corner of the room watching them and playing my Christmas 2023 playlist on Apple Music. It’s all our faves!:

I really like that at least Christmas is NOT going to feel like Thanksgiving did for me!!! I can wait for all of the Christmas glory! I looked at the reflection in my TV just before I watched mass, and I saw this, and was vastly contented, I just can’t wait until it’s lit up and that’s happening tomorrow!!!:
