Looking A Lot Like Christmas
My parents and Mary's Mom, Grace, enjoyed (we hope!) an early holiday this past weekend at our home.
As you can see above, Dad read by the glow of our vintage 1965 Sears Roebuck and Co. seven-foot aluminum tree. Don't believe it glows? Check it out:
Wow! You probably now need sunglasses to continue to look at your computer screen! What makes it glow so? About 800 lights and a multitude of kitschy ornaments from our wacky, yet beloved, collection. Like these:
My parents basked in our tree's awesomeness:
Now, we have more pictures to share but many of the pictures feature gifts that are similar to gifts that have yet to arrive at other locations, so those pictures will be delayed for a week or so. Needless to say, in the great Sweetwood tradition, drinks were consumed (including champagne), feasts were prepared by Mary and cool gifts were exchanged.
I got this fantastic jacket:
Grace got some cool earrings:
We had a great time! It was terrific enjoying some early holiday cheer with the parents!
More later,
Mark
