He looked for a place to set his tea – “This table is so full of books, stuff all over.” He grumbled for a bit til he moved books and found  a wee spot.

(He was referring to the cocktail table which holds maybe 40 books – all his:) I didn’t comment that they were all his. Mom always said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. I have to remember that 100 times a day.

For Christmas, I tried to explain we should move them to another corner “just for Christmas”. He agreed and then was confused and upset. So no Christmas arrangement last year – unless you count Mary Higgins Clarke’s Christmas book.
