Getting ready for Christmas

This year I had meant not to decorate the house for Christmas as the family, our grandchildren and their parents,  can not come and spend these days with us.

I had intended to set up just some small details of Christmas decoration in the living room;  so this afternoon I went down to the cellar and took out the box where I had put all the decorations last January.  I opened the box and suddenly the kitchen table was all full of red and green Christmas balls, golden pine cones, baskets, trays, little Christmas trees, candles, ribbons.... and the most important' details'  the little figures for the crib.
Well, I'll show you the final results one of these days!
