I LOVE CHRISTMAS. Don't take this statement lightly. I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I start getting excited about Christmas during the hot summer months when I long for a holiday cup of hot chocolate from Starbucks and wrapping my favorite scarf around my neck. I have enough Christmas music on my ipod to play it year-round [my husband doesn't much like that... so I politely save it for the months of October, November, and December]. I have two sets of stockings so Santa does not forget us at Mom's house! I still send my list to "Santa" [somehow he always knows if I am naughty or nice].
This year I have been on the ball with my shopping [usually something that takes me weeks and I am out running around like a chicken with its head cut off on Christmas Eve]. I have actually finished almost all [two gifts shy] of my shopping. It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders when I brought all the presents home and filled the living room floor with bags, green and red tissue paper, and curly bows. [and yes, I did take my own advice and wrap 3 gifts in re-usable eco-friendly bags ;)]
So now that I have the shopping behind me, I can truly focus on one of the best parts of the holidays.... DECORATING. Tree bought [still undecorated], check. Wreaths hung on doors, check. Beautiful inverted chandelier tree [Martha Stewart, watch yourself], check.
I have quite a bit left to do... let's turn on the Christmas music and get busy this week.
GET FESTIVE PEOPLE... until next time.....
