It's beginning to look like Christmas.

I don't remember the last time I put up any Christmas decorations, either inside my house or outside. Putting up Christmas lights etc. is not something that can physically do myself considering my disability. So my house usually goes undecorated.

Even though I do have two people living with me, they are students they usually go home for the holidays and are not really motivated to decorate my house. I can't blame them.

That changed slightly this year. For the first time in probably 15 years I actually have a decorated Christmas tree in my house. Complete with lights and a lot of ornaments, both handmade and purchased.

And it's not an artificial tree either. It's a real one, direct from some Christmas tree Farm I would imagine. Regardless, it stands in the corner of my family room where we all can enjoy it. It's kind of nice. It brings peacefulness to my home at night. Especially when the house lights are dim and the Christmas tree lights are on.

Thanks Jennifer.

Now, if there were only a few presents underneath it.
