Things to Remember for Next Christmas

/ J. F. Riordan

You won’t get any work done.

If you can’t find a tree, don’t panic. It’s Wisconsin.

Open car doors when attaching tree to roof.

Buy favorite champagne early.

Always drink champagne before shopping for tree.

Get lots of fresh air.

Balsams smell amazing, but don’t last as long as frasiers.

Go to at least one concert.

Buy and wrap presents early. HAHAHAHAHA

Listen to husband when he says tree looks great without ornaments.

Taking down the tree is a miserable job. But worth it.

Chex Mix.

  1. My tree, of undetermined type (a friend grabs a random one for me from her friend’s local Christmas tree farm and drops it off–this is Wisconsin after all) has stopped drinking water. It will not make it to Epiphany, I’m afraid. But it is so pretty and has smelled so good.

    The concert tip is a good one. This year I sang in a big one at our church, and it was the highlight of the season for me.

  6. lol. You should try and keep this list. If you are anything like me all those lessons will be lost down some gracefully aging memory hole. Of course where I put the list will be an issue next year. Sigh. Happy New Year to you and Mr. Sykes. I

  8. I make a similar list every year and put it in the front of my holiday binder that holds special recipes and other info. Every year I write down “wrap early”too. Hope you are settling back into your routine.
