Putting Up Christmas in Dallas

 




So what's it all about, so-called "LSP"? Good question, and I'll tell you. It's all about putting up Christmas at Ma LSP's HQ in Dallas. Tree, lights, angel, not fairy, and assorted ornaments. Some of them feel like old friends, though the oldest look too worn now to go up on the tree. Sic transit, and in fairness they date back to the '40s.




Of course Bark-Bark was a great help, and added to the luster of an ancient Moslem runner. I think it's Caucasian, but know nothing of rugs these days so perhaps it isn't. Ruggery aside, the dog was fascinated, and who can blame him?




In other news, rumors that Prince Harry is being deported to Net Zero, Bonkers Britain are just that, rumors. Not unlike photos of Obama et al at Diddy  parties, when you think on it. And there you have it, Christmas is up in Dallas.

Mission Accomplished,

LSP

I'm working on the apartment tomorrow, as it has been delayed by someone's lack of intestinal fortitude after Thanksgiving.

Seeing as how I live in an efficiency (and I enjoy it, for the most part, having gotten rid of too much garbage anchoring me down) and the bed is surrounded by bookcases and leaves no place for a tree, I had the brilliant idea of taking all the faux branches from our rather nice artificial tree (a $300 one on sale at Homey Despot for $50 post season one year many years ago) and have them protruding off the top of said bookshelves and out of the top of the window curtain. Place lights on, add all our ornaments and it's like laying under the Christmas Tree and looking up.

As to your place, dear Parson, excellent job. A traditional tree in a traditional house. Nothing better to set the mood no matter what the weather is like outside.

Sounds like a cozy and festive time setting up the tree! The nostalgia of old ornaments is the best part of Christmas decorating.

Your description of the old ornaments brings back memories of Christmas past. It’s all part of the charm, isn’t it?

Christmas in Dallas sounds magical! Bark-Bark and the ancient rug seem like the perfect combo for holiday vibes.

Old rugs and Christmas decorations are a combination you don’t hear about often, but it sounds perfect for your setup.

Rumors aside, it’s good to focus on the holiday spirit. The memories with decorations from the ‘40s are priceless.

Just seeing the Prince carrying a copy of Magnificat got a Wow! out of me. Was alerted to it on Fr. Z blog, and clicking thru the X post determined that it was a handout at the Cathedral. But still...I'm impressed; and congratulations to the Order of Preachers.

My dear Beans, I love that you have bookshelves with actual books. I should imagine you've even read them. I have those too, in spades, but haven't read them all (inherited bibliophile dad's library). Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, was asked what he was most grateful for. He replied, "That I've understood everything I've read." Wow.

And thanks for the plaudit, it does look good, I think.
