Day 54: I'm off schedule this year, but at least I'm early instead of late. I don't usually put the tree up until the 10th, but with today being St. Nicholas' Day and the first batch of cookies having been baked several days ago, I decided I'd at least assemble it and string the lights. That done, the bare boughs nagged at me when I sat down to enjoy my book, so I dragged the ornaments out of the closet and set to work. The first ornament I hang is always Cocoa's, and it goes in a place of honour, front and center at eye level. Hard to believe that the dearest love of my life has been gone almost twenty years.
