Today we went to my Mom and Dad's. My dad was watching football in the basement as usual. I helped my mom put decorations on her Christmas tree. It was fun to see my old rocking horse ornaments again, and other ones I collected as a kid.

"The Butterfly" by Luis Ricardo Falero, 1893. Public domain.

I also had to learn how to replace a lightbulb on a string of lights so I could group the fiber-optic fairies together on white bulbs. It was fun, too. You know, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, fairies are summoned to be decorations at the Christmas Ball.
