Since yesterday was December 1st, that meant I could officially break out Christmas decorations and music. It also meant that hubby thought it would be a GREAT idea to wake me up yesterday morning by blaring Christmas music in my ear. This did not start my day off in a jolly way. However, by evening, I was so freaking festive it was ridiculous.
Mugs filled with hot drinks are essential for setting the appropriate Christmas decorating mood (hot chocolate + marshmallows for Tyson, coffee with real cream for me).
Tyson doesn't look like he's having that much fun but I think he secretly is. How could you not be with that glowing ball of light behind you? He's my designated Open-and/or-Unwrap-All-the-Ornaments-and-Put-a-Hook-on-Them-and-Then-Put-Everything-Back-in-the-Container-Just-Like-You-Found-It Boy. Everyone needs one of those at Christmas decorating time.
You can't tell from the picture, but I am wearing a top absolutely blinged out in sequins. Clearly festive.
I come down hard on the side of fake in the real vs. fake Christmas tree debate. I know that people who prefer real trees go crazy on the experience of going to pick one out and they smell so good and yadda, yadda, yadda, but I just don't think you can beat a fake tree. One that looks like it has just a dusting of sparkling snow on it. And that has lights already on it, saving you at least an hour of tinkering-with-the-lights time. And it doesn't need it's water levels maintained since there isn't any. Honestly, there's enough to think about at this time of year instead of worrying about watering a tree indoors. How silly. I love our tree.
I also loved our Thanksgiving sign so much that I couldn't resist making another one today. The shelf looked so lonely without one, but now it is festive and happy again. Merry, even.
