Green Bay Packers Tree

“When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness.” ― Bob Hope

Here's our first apartment together since Trevor got back to Salem, Oregon from his stay in Hawaii.  I was in the Christmas spirit early (November), but I didn't want to seem ridiculous to my peers, so instead of decorating with a "Christmas" theme, I decorated my tree in Green Bay Packers for the month of November.  We are Green Bay Packers fans, so this worked out for Trevor.  On December 1st, I'd change it to Mele Kalikimaka. 

This may be a tradition in the years to come.  

So, if you ever want to get us something for Christmas, Green Bay Packers is perfect for us.  Anything Green Bay Packers!  

I want this tree so gaudy and cheesy (pun intended) in future pre-Christmases, during football season.

Gifts from a Tenant

“A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.” ― Garrison Keillor, Leaving Home

Today, one of my RV tenants, stopped by to give me my late Christmas gift.  It was an ornament of a trailer and a pair of men's socks.  I will regift the socks to Trevor as they will fit him better.  I don't know how I got so lucky in meeting such wonderful people.  I haven't been around such warm-hearted people in all my life.

More gifts from Tenants

“Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.” ― Eric Severeid

 

When I got back to my job at the RV Park, I noticed I had more gifts.  One of the tenants got it to me after I had already left for work.  So, I had a couple new gifts waiting.  Gosh, I really do like my tenants.  These came from Gail.
