This year I didn't even try to get all the Christmas decorating done in just a couple of days. I did the tree first about a month ago, then I hung the stockings.
Never did get around to putting the lights outside.
Tonight while their parents went shopping, the boys and I put out the Snow Village.
I'm not much for realism, so I bought some of the Department 56 Snow Babies pieces that I like. Chase was busy setting out the traditional village, while Connor and I started unboxing the Snow Babies.
When Chase saw that we were going to mix the 2 concepts he said, "Hey these don't fit together." I said, "Sure they do. It's like real life and then all around you there is make believe and magic." He just gave me that look of "crazy lady."
After it was finish, I walked back into the room and found Connor playing with a character on a sled and pretending it was crashing into the village. Oh well, I have grandsons.
