It's here! It's here! The day has finally arrived! We are not officially out of lockdown yet, but restrictions have been lifted on stores that sell non-essential items, and if a store is allowed to be open, we are allowed to shop there. It's a Saturday morning, and I can already tell the road sounds a tad busier today than it has during the past four weeks of strict lockdown. I wonder if everyone will rush out to do some Christmas shopping just because they can. Hopefully people will keep their distance from one another and places won't be too crowded and France's COVID-19 cases won't skyrocket again. As for us, we are hoping to go out and find a Christmas tree today.
We haven't bought a Christmas tree as a family since 2015. The past four years we were fortunate enough to be able to spend Christmas at home with family, and the last time we picked out a tree, it was in the company of K.J.'s parents who spent a few days with us on their way to South Africa for the birth of a grandchild. We all used to do so much traveling, right?
At any rate, I hung the stockings yesterday and told J to write something Christmasy on the letterboard. He surprised us all with something funnier than I would have come up with, and if you know, you know.
