So this was one of the last free weekends my family has between now and Christmas. Not that I mind, I quite enjoy all the holiday festivities. But you would think that knowing this is one of our last leisurely weekends, that I would take it easy and relax, but nope, not me……not this busy bee.
So here’s what I’ve been up to. I decided on Saturday that I wanted to go ahead and put up our Christmas decorations. We are not hosting Thanksgiving this year (we are heading to my in-laws), so I figured, why not get a jump start? I love Christmas and the earlier I get my decorations up, the longer I have to enjoy them. Ok, so maybe putting up Christmas decor. this early is against your religion, but I have such a warm feeling when Christmas is surrounding me that I decided there was nothing wrong with going ahead. So my hubby, Brett, decided to jump on the bandwagon and put the lights up on the house last night as well. I think this is the first year he has not had to put them up in the snow. But no worries……we won’t be turning them on until after Thanksgiving.
