Christmas Decorating Has Started

Hey Guys and Gals!

Well, I managed to save three of our old sets of Christmas lights.  I had to go through 900 lights to find the bad ones but, at the end, it was worth it.

As many of you know, I set up my Christmas stuff last week. It was a process, all right! The only Christmas stuff we have set up is in my (Game)Room, not the rest of the house. However, we did help my grandparents set up their outside decorations last Monday.

My sister and I wrote a stupid Christmas story today using the C64 BASIC prompt. It was very stupid. Does anyone know of a good floppy disc C64 word processor?

Bank Street Writer is the one that comes to mind.

Well, I don't start until next weekend and it is a process!  🙂

I started decorating outside today. Candy cane lights around the perimeter of the lawn. More to come later.

PS - my older son, whose name starts with the letter "J" says I should have mounted them upside down.

We move slowly in the RickR household.  Yesterday, a tree.  Today, we start adding ornaments.

I've always wanted to do a retro themed tree. The last few years I've traveled back home so I didn't even decorate. This year with COVID that was out so I decided to grab scissors, some glue and poster board and make a PAC tree in honor of the 40 year anniversary of the original game!

The tree is 7.5-8' tall and I have about 50 pac characters from the games and other media. I bought foam balls and spray paint from the craft store for the blue and yellow balls and made the garland from construction paper. I'm pretty happy with the results!
