Getting into the holiday spirit

Today was a beautiful day! We got the outside lights hung and then ran into town to do a bit more Christmas shopping. This is the first year in many that I've been nearly done with my Christmas shopping this early, of course Thanksgiving being later than normal may have had some bearing on this. I finally got tired of fixing my only chair upstairs, so while we were out shopping we went to one of the discount furniture shops in town. I now have a very comfortable recliner upstairs.

To thaw out the Thanksgiving turkey, I ran my sink full of water and let the turkey sit in it overnight and all day Wednesday. When Scott went to change the water he discovered that the drain pipe on that side of the sink had come undone and from the looks of things had been leaking for some time, so I'm looking at replacing the sub-floor, floor and cabinet under the sink. After checking out prices for laminate flooring at the Home Depot, but decided that it's a project we can most likely do ourselves, but will have to wait until after Christmas.
