The Gimlet is away on another one of his business trips so Team Gimlet is taking a break from home improvement and getting ready for the holidays. This year Thing One was a great help trimming the Christmas tree. It doesn’t have a particular decorating theme; I collect ornaments from places we’ve visited, or with some family significance, or just ones I think are neat. Every year when we unwrap the ornaments we have fun remembering where they came from or who gave them to us. Last year Thing Two was too small to notice much, but this year he loves the Christmas tree. Anticipating that we put a few sturdy ornaments — mostly Norwegian pewter, but also some sturdy wooden ones (more Norwegian, but also Swedish and Danish) — in his reach. The more fragile decorations have been slowly climbing up the tree.
