Christmas

Well, we got the tree put up last night.  The kids all helped decorate it with me and I managed to not shed a tear.  It was hard after they left looking at it all lit up and knowing that Gene would have loved the way it looked.  Gene wasn't big on holidays but he did appreciate a nice Christmas tree.  I wouldn't have been able to do it without the kids.  They kept me laughing the whole time.  I just need to get through the next couple of weeks.  That's what I keep telling myself.  Christmas is going to be hard, I'm already feeling pretty blue.
