AN: Baby has left and it's time to get to work! The plan tonight is to get at least days six to eight maybe even nine done tonight and tomorrow ten to twelve. That's the plan anyway. Moving forward, I'm actually surprised I was able to get day 5 out this morning. I was literally half asleep when I wrote it, but it did help wake me up so that's good :) Got all of my Christmas shopping done and most of the stuff I ordered is here! I'm now waiting on one item that hasn't arrived yet, according to Amazon it should be here Monday. I'm hoping it is. I got everything else and they're all wrapped and ready to go! Go me! Have any of you finished your shopping or got anything wrapped?
Mistakes? Still trash. Flames? *pets head* You precious thing.
Enjoy my loves!
6 Lovely Little Thingamabobs
Mac was in charge of decorating the tree and the house as Bozer wasn't home to do it. He and Leanna are spending one week with his parents and another with hers. Mac always made his ornaments. There were paperclip shapes, the garland made of red and green duct tape, tinsel made of wire and CD bits, the star was made from a piece metal Mac found on the side of the road, and then the fake snow was made of spray paint and some spongy material. Once the tree was decorated, Mac got the house ready. The last thing he put out were the lovely little thingamabobs.
Mac over the years made these thingamabobs for each member in his family. No one was sure what part of Christmas they represented but they knew who they represented and they loved them all the same.
The first was made out of glass and handled with a gentleness people rarely see with the blonde boy. The glass object was a mix match of glass pieces and Mac always hung it in a spot by the fireplace. This way when he turned the lights off, the fire and tree lights created an aurora. This precious and beautiful object represented Mac's mother.
The second was a mess of broken car parts. It was supposed to look like three presents stacked on top of each other but it came out wonky looking, however, it was sturdy and strong. Like Jack. This was placed in Mac's room.
The third was made from different pieces of broken china and looked like some kind of angel, caring and nurturing. He placed it in the kitchen next to the stove where Bozer always placed it.
The fourth, a little tree made of computer parts. This was placed in the den next to the desktop computer. Riley was not only smart and reliable but quick as a whip when it came to tech. Mac could always count on his sister.
The fifth was created from different pieces of metal and laced with a soft cloth. It was in the shape of a candle. Guiding, firm, and yet loving. Obviously Matty. This was placed on the shelf by the door.
The last was made from parts and pieces of the five objects in the shape of a star. This represented everyone in his family. This was placed in his front window, so when he came home he would see it and smile.
These six lovely little thingamabobs might seem strange and flat out unappealing to people who visit but to Mac they were perfect.
*pets puppy Mac* You are so cute!
To day 7!
