Opal Goes Crazy With Christmas
Confession - there is a little of each character I write inside me. I think this is true for all authors. Sometimes, it's just a smidge. Other times, there are a lot of comparisons. Take Stella from Scrooged By The Mountain Man, for instance.
Like Stella, I am very enthusiastic about decorating for Christmas. I would have driven Eli Lucas (MMC) completely nuts!
This year, I have been going a little overboard with it. However, I love the result and my hubby does as well. He complemented me saying it brought a wonderful feeling to the house.
The ceilings in three of the main rooms in our home are eighteen feet tall. I maximized my efforts by utilizing spaces up high for all the little things I've collected over time as Christmas decorations.

Old fashioned mechanical carolers I found at an auction a few years ago. They sit above the front door.
Okay -- I told you I went crazy with Christmas!
Ironically, our tree is up with only the lights on and supposed to be adorned with ornaments later this evening.
Thanks for visiting!
Opal
