I can hardly believe December is almost half over. I don’t even have the lights up yet – just little window decals and holiday placemats, and Christmas music on iTunes. Usually I'm gung-ho about getting everything decorated right after Thanksgiving, but this year we’re in the minimalist mood. For one thing, we only consider this roach-ridden apartment as our stopping point between “real” homes, and don’t want to give it the satisfaction (stupid, I know, right?). The Christmas decorations are packed away with all the other boxes from our move, and we'd rather not have to dig them out, only to repack them. We even considered skipping the tree, since the 7-foot fake one we have in storage would never fit. Still, it would be a shame not to have one for Amanda’s first Christmas, so maybe we’ll get a real one, just tabletop size.

you gotta get a tree!! Just get a pre-decorated one at the grocery store. Just think years from now you will be scrap-booking and you won't have any pictures of Amanda with her 1st Christmas tree :-(
ReplyDeleteThey have pre-decorated trees??? That's a great idea! I agree you NEED a tree! I know how you feel though. I am not in the mood either!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for Michayla to come up on 12/22 to decorate mine!!!! And I am buying less than 10 gifts total---I will be surprised if my kids don't have me committed after this Christmas! Can't really figure out why no one I know is in the mood...good thing we all know what this day is really about, huh? have a blessed Son-filled day, Rachel, Dave, Eva and Amanda
