My word, she is finally asleep. The five year old granddaughter is spending the night. She came over this afternoon and inspected my tree. It passed.

So, then she wanted to decorate. We hauled up four big bins from the basement. She hung quite a few balls, then ran out of hooks. She put her hands on her hip and sent her PaPa to buy more. While he was gone, she ordered me to take everything off the hearth, while she dived into other boxes. She came up with Santa, Mrs Clause and the nutcracker and placed them exactly as I have since she was born. She then finished decorating the tree, after she demanded a chair to stand on. And, she nixed my plan to put ribbon garland on the tree, too, in no uncertain terms. After that, she tackled the mantle and put the train where it belongs. This went on all afternoon and evening, folks.

During all this frentic activity, she said she had the "Christmas spirit". I asked her what that means and she said "its when you are excited about Christmas".

Well, I have the Christmas spirit, but this Grandma feels like she has been run over by a reindeer. LOL
