Christmas Decorations 2019

Usually in the current season, I start thinking about the decorations or theme for the next.  Last year, I found a lovely roll of blue wrapping paper with silver foil writing on it.  I immediately knew this was going to be the colors for 2019!

And so, it all commenced about three weeks ago.  I am accustomed to getting my tree up fairly early.  The motivation is that my tree is fiber optic and about 18 years old, thus it requires advanced notice to when the bulb that illuminates it requires replacement.  Strange thing, I purchased several spares 1-2 years after I purchased the tree.  I am not sure if the bulb ever went out on it.
