Today was cold, wet, and miserable, so rather than go out looking for a Christmas tree, we decided to postpone that for a day. Instead, we spent time cleaning. This was good, because we really need to clean up the space where the Christmas tree is going to go. And after a lot of work (mostly by Gretchen), the space is clear, save for some cardboard boxes that need to be reduced for recycling. If tomorrow's forecast holds, tree tomorrow.
