It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I am one of those people who feels as soon as Thanksgiving is over at 11:59pm, Christmas season begins. I am NOT however, one of those idiots who gets into a fighting match over a talking toy at 5am. There is not a deal good enough for me to get in that mess. I prefer to sleep and enjoy waking up the next day and being somewhat lazy. Lazy enough that I can dawdle and enjoy my morning cup of coffee, but active enough to decorate for Christmas.

Rob helped bring down the tree and the 7 boxes of Christmas stuff we have. I think we have so much because we both really get into the holiday. I have a lot more ornaments than Rob, however he has more house decor. This works out pretty well because there hasn't been any fights about what goes where. It was a bonus that he has a tree topper. I have had my tree for 3 years and never had one. Santa looks pretty happy up there, must be the view.

I am glad that we both feel that the Christmas tree should be a reflection of us and not something out of a magazine. You know the kind, with all the bulbs, ribbons, and lights matching, stripped of any personality. Those are good for shopping malls, not our home.

I tried some new things with Christmas bulbs this year. I bought them last year knowing they were filler and with Rob's ornament this year they weren't needed. I got creative and put them in other places.

So I say, let the season begin! I need a glass of eggnog. YUM!
