From earlier tonight.
Sarah decorates the tree:
The girls take a break and read a Christmas story:
…and here’s the audio component for this last photo. (Link should launch an MP3.) Any guesses as to what they were reading?
Sarah puts the angel on top:
The living room is officially done:

It looks beautiful. Part of me misses Christmas and snow and the whole spirit as the skies open up outside here, yielding liquid snow.
Just part of me, though.
Hee hee, grinch.

Pretty!
Are those LED lights? If so, are they the “clear” ones or the “bright white” ones? I bought a bunch of clear ones last year to replace my regular “clear” ones and was horribly disappointed to see that clear=harsh cold blue. This year I noticed that a few places are offering “bright white” or “pure white” in addition to “clear”.
I am a little worried about getting burned again, though. LOL LED lights are rather pricey!

Sheila: Emma was saving up her drama for when I pushed the “record” button!
Liss: Those are LED lights. We got them new this year. They’re NOMA, and were marked as “warm.” I don’t know how warm they are though.
I really have mixed feelings about the LEDs. The outdoor ones really glare. I miss the twinkle. Alas, their environmental ebenefits must outweigh my sense of nostalgia.
