Dang it, I’m already out of the “update at midnight” groove again. This kind of schedule would be a lot easier to keep up if… um… actually I can’t come up with a way to complete that sentence, even sarcastically. It’s a bit of a challenge.

But enough about my pity party, let’s talk about decorations! You know those GIANT Christmas decorations they have at the entrance of malls? You know, the ones with the massive, vaguely-tree-shaped pyramids of light & astroturf, ornaments you could hide small children inside, and enough lights to be seen from space? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s how Augusta decorates that one guest bathroom in the back of the house that nobody even uses. You should see how she decorates the LIVING ROOM.

(Historical Notes: I can’t remember if Past Me mentioned it in the original comments, but I made a conscious effort to gradually shift the color of the background to a warmer hue as more of the ornaments went up.  I think that’s a nice subtle touch.)
