This is the first year I've set up the Christmas tree before December even started. I justified it by painting a dozen Jesse tree ornaments and putting on signs of creation like birds and some beehive ornaments, bright red apples, etc. Today, though, I went crazy and finished decorating the tree. As I posted earlier this month, "We need a little Christmas right this very minute!" And I just couldn't wait any longer for the glitz and glitter.
