and the the weekend was spent decorating it, the house, and outside.
we normally put up the tree and decorate the house on thanksgiving day,but this year we had to wait to put up the tree til my son could could home from college. my son and daughter are the ones who decorate the tree for me.
the day after thanksgiving its been a family tradition for 30 years. now the 4 kids of us in our own homes we still keep it going including my mother.
