Diane and I wanted to get a Christmas tree on the early side for us… The kids are coming in and it’s nice to make the house a little festive.… We went up to Puritans and chose just the right one

I even got a maple donut to celebrate

We got the tree settled.

. I forgot to take a picture of it open.. its a beutiful tree.. I ll show it tomorrow

one super wierd thing is with all the moving around the furniture to accommodate the tree something left this pattern… 

pretty cool and spooky !

Today was the big day. Around 4 PM the gates opened and people from inside and outside of bed came in to see the wears that people had made to sell. Diana and I were selling our ornaments as a donation… Our idea was to collect the money, double it and then donated it to toys for tots.… We did a brisk business  all night .

In the end, we made enough to make $1000 donation to Vermont section of the Marine Corp Toys for Tots !  THanks to all who donated !
