Christmas Decor

My mom is going decorating crazy. We got a real tree Friday, which I have to say smells very nice, but for the past three days we have done nothing but pull boxes of decorations out of the attic. The only thing that saved me from putting lights out on the house today was that it rained!!! Granted the whole reason I took this day off was to spend time with my family, but for some reason my definition of that doesn't include me, by myself on a freezing rooftop dangling from the edges to perfectly place multiple electrically glowing bulbs. At least now that it is raining I can talk her into sitting and watching a Christmas movie instead. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
