Our Pilgrims’ Heads Are Falling Off.

Our Pilgrims’ Heads Are Falling Off.

NaBloPoMo 29.

My husband said the tree was too big.

But we got it anyway.

Tonight as he went to bed he said, “You did really good. The lights are halfway on and the tree only fell twice.”

What I love about having to do a blog post is that it’s okay to worry more about taking a photo than caring if your husband is rushed by a mammoth Frazier Fir.

This was the first time the tree fell and it landed on top of the piano.

Casualties were a decorative plate that I never liked and  . . .

Yes. Our pilgrim has no head.

Rest assured since this photo, I’ve managed to secure her head back on top of her neck so she will be ready to go next year.

I’m sure she was a little upset by the whole ordeal, but she does have the next 12 months to recoup wrapped in newspaper nestled in a box in the attic.

Sounds lovely.

Peaceful even.

Me.

I’ve got to get back to the tree.

Turning off the games and turning on a little Spotify Holiday magic.

NaBloPoMo 29, or did I say that already?

  1. Jamie, you’re so good. Have you missed a day yet? I gave up on Nablo last week. And I can so relate to making everyone stop so you can take a photo for the blog right in the middle of whatever is going on. I hope y’all had a great turkey and pecan pie day.

  2. Okay, I am crying laughing! Anything for the blog post!

  3. We bloggers, especially NaBloPoMo bloggers, completely understand the importance of photos before family. Ha!

    So glad the lady pilgrim is A-OK now!

    I’ll be another couple weeks before putting up a tree, and I might fasten it to the wall this year. Small house + 2 big dogs + a cat who likes to climb = disaster. I think I’ll also save my favorite ornaments for another year.

    xoxox Angela. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving this year.

    Totally hysterical!!! At least the tree fit in the door and stands up (most of the time)!
    It feels really wrong to laugh at the Pilgrims but I can’t help it :)!!!
