Better Late Than Never

Usually our house is completely decorated by December 7th, but we've been a bit slow this year. The weather has not been cooperative with getting outdoor lights up: it's either been way too windy or raining, or I've had other projects taking precedence. And then my concerns about decorations with the cats has slowed me down inside. Fortunately, the kitties are showing little, if any, interest in our holiday decor, so I'm moving forward full tilt! If we were traveling for the holidays, I'd probably not bother with anything other than the tree with such a late start, but since we'll be home for the first time in years, and actually have visitors coming to celebrate with us, I'm going all out!
