The store doesn't have much of a Christmas spirit this year. But we have been putting together a Christmas tree in Florida. My Husband of many many years has always worked the classic 8-10 hr job at day all our married life, and hasn't ever had the time to help put the tree up. Since taking on our new Job at the Whipple Company Store and Museum he has a different kind of 9-5 job commonly known to most as retired. Retirement is interesting because you realize you work harder than ever before, make less money than you can believe, all the time calling it fun.

We have a victorian "pink" living room.. This will help explain the tree. Enjoy
