A Few Christmas Vignettes

I've been busy decorating for Christmas, so thought I'd include some photos on my blog. I'm so glad I'm done because as an older relative used to say, I'm now 'down in the back.' Actually, it's the hip and right leg and it's a lot more intense than normal back pain. I was up all night taking ibuprofen and rubbing stinky old people cream (that's my son's phrase for all the icy hot products) on it. Craig and I think the sudden onset of extreme muscle aches may be related to the swine flu shots we took yesterday. I'm hoping so, because then it will go away! I'd debated getting the dang thing, but Craig is in and out of schools all over the country in his job, so better safe than sorry! (At least I thought so?) Hopefully, this too shall pass, or I'll be down like that little lamb in the nativity scene below!
