Christmas continued to throw up on Ali’s tree for a second year here without her. Can you believe I left off a good 30 ornaments too? And her lovely prelit tree is no longer lit AT ALL. Not one light. So I had to stretch the few strands extra we had from the previous years when only a couple strands were out. But there is so much crap on there, you can hardly notice the lack of lights! I hope you all had a great Christmas. Much love to you and yours this holiday season.

Love, Melanie.
