I love this time of the year

the ol' lady and kids went to the farm for Thanksgiving and I stayed behind to redo the hardwood floors. I had 4 days to myself without anyone in the house. it was strange..they just got home and it's funny how much you can miss all the crap you go through with your family. I wouldn't give anything for it. the living room is being put back together and room was made for the tree. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. tree is going up now, dinner cooking on the stove has the house smelling good, Christmas music playing on the big speakers and as soon as the rain stops I'll be standing on the roof hanging X mas lights.
not sure why I'm in such a great mood, just figured I'd share my fthoughts.
