I got the house decorated for Christmas today, I started cleaning and putting things away around 8am and other than taking a couple of short breaks I didn’t stop until now.
Last year I sucked at the Holiday thing all around, I have this thing about not doing anything Christmas related until Thanksgiving is over, some years when we get home from my in-laws we decorate, last year I got the Advent calendar up for our grandson and JR brought the tree in and it stayed undecorated, some nights he’d plug it in but I couldn’t care less about even doing that much.
I was in a funk, the Holiday blues were drowning me but this year I’m not going there.
I didn’t think about how much had to be done even before I started decorating, and I didn’t get discouraged thinking about how pretty soon it will all have to be taken down.
I feel so good knowing we can enjoy next week now, it’s all done! If it’s cold enough on Thursday I want to come home and have JR build a fire, we’ll snuggle up and watch “Christmas Vacation” because it’s a tradition and that will be the end of our day.
Friday morning Jules and I are going shopping, I don’t know why I’m excited about that but I am, I’m not a morning person by any means but we’ll be out by 4am.
Madness!!
I am so proud of you and I freakin’ LOVE that movie!
You haven’t moblogged in awhile, do it on Lack Friday!
