It was a week before Christmas, and all through the house, your narrator was fuming.I could smash my mouse! We were trying to put up our Christmas tree, and we werent having much luck. Bah Humbug!!

We finally got the tree into the stand, and started stringing the lights. My husband suggested that we test the lights first, but I didnt see the point.
