Saturday we "decorated" the tree. Tonight Richard and I are taking all of the ornaments off of the tree.
Long story short, we had fun decorating the tree, then we have had more fun pulling the ornaments off the tree. We have broken several - surprise, surprise. So I made a trip to target to buy candy canes. I moved all the ornaments to the top of the tree and let them put the candy canes at the bottom of the tree. We have become very frustrated with the candy canes which aren't shiny and apparently aren't as interesting for little hands to grab. So we continue to reach for the high ornaments. Tonight, we pulled so hard that the tree came down. We found Woodson laying under the tree (with shiny ornament in hand). Ornaments are coming off...'nuff said.

There is some history here. Richard's brother Edward climbed up and while examining the ornaments pulled over what he called the "Christmas" when he was a little more than 2. The event broke a lamp which though repaired still bears the crack. This puts Woodson somewhat ahead of his Uncle Edward in rascality, not a bad thing from the point of view of my generation.
