For the last 10 years or so we have lived in our son Jan’s house. The one job Leo & I were always did, was put up and decorate the Christmas tree. Last year health issues kept my husband from setting up our Christmas tree. The tree was put up by our son and he did a great job. We always put tons of lights on the tree. The lights alone were beautiful, the ornaments were the icing on the cake. We are all healthy this year but Jan will put the tree up again.
Tom and Katherine are ‘helping’ Dad to do this and so a new generation will carry on the tradition. Jan has decided to put fewer lights on this year. That is to say that we will be using many, many more lights that sane people use, but not excessively more than sanity dictates. Once the ornaments are on the tree we will again have the best tree anywhere.
Now I have no excuse. I must start the Christmas cookies and make the Coquito. Coquito is the Puerto Rican eggnog and is so very tasty and so very easy. This is a combination too good to be believed,
