Alright, the tree is decorated. Yes, I did it Sunday. But that's all I did. The rest of the 12 or so totes can go back in the attic. Humph! It's OK though. I mean, I'm not sad and I'm not missing all my stuff. I haven't even picked out all the Christmas movies from the library. I will watch Rudolph though. That's my all time favorite.
Speaking of Rudolph...many years ago, I bought a set of Rudolph figurines. I think I got them at Target. I like this set because the Bumble is actually furry. Pretty neat. And it's got everybody in it. I love this set. It disappeared about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure that my fella threw it away unintentionally. But I've been mad at him, in my head, for the last 5 years. Every year when we get all the Christmas joy out, no Rudolph, butthead. I say it in my head, of course.
This past summer, we decided to clean out the attic, buy totes/crates that were all the same, and clear, go through everything, blah, blah, blah. It took several weekends! We had a throw away pile and a Goodwill pile. We had a spot for Christmas joy, stuff we want to give back to the kids, stuff we want to keep but don't need, etc. It was MY job to go through everything. And if it was full of man things, I hollered at him. So there I am, sorting through this tote that had a bunch of miscellaneous things in it. And I came across this little box. When I opened it up, guess what I found?? Uh huh. All my little Rudolph figurine!!!!! YAY! I'm so happy!
I quietly apologized, in my head :-)
Now it's Christmas time. The Monday after Thanksgiving, I brought in the decorations for our office. It's pretty. I decided to put my little set of Rudolph and friends, on my desk. Several people commented on how much they love Rudolph. One young man even said, my wife would LOVE these! So I looked for them online, in case he really wanted to get them for her. I wasn't really looking for MY set, just any set would do. Well, I found MY set, on Ebay, for $255.00!!!!!! What?!?!?!? Oh yeah, I took them right home after that!
