My roommate, Western Plains U.S.D. 106 second and third grade teacher Travis Schafer, and I are getting into the Christmas spirit.
On our way back home today from visiting family for Thanksgiving, we stopped at Walmart and purchased a few decorations for our Ransom home.
I already had the fiber-optic Christmas tree, and we bought a couple stockings and a few other indoor decorations. We also got outdoor lights to adorn our house with.
We don’t have ornaments on the tree yet, but we’ll take care of that later. The important thing is we have the holiday spirit and gingerbread-scented candles.
