CHRISTMAS TIME!!
Although my Thanksgiving was fantastic
and I’m so grateful for all the blessings in my life, I’m beyond excited for it
to be Christmas time! It really is the best time of the year!
I started my Christmas shopping early
this year (partially because I was just too anxious, and partially because I
just wanted to get it over with to start paying everything off) I’m just about
done after going out on Black Friday. The only thing that I have left to get is
the last gift for Tyler (My boyfriends son). So I think I’m doing pretty good!
We went and got our Christmas Tree on
Sunday. I was determined to go get
it early this year because last year we literally went and got it the weekend
before Christmas and I was so pissed. So I was going this weekend whether it
was the last thing I did! Even though we got it on Sunday morning I still had
to wait to decorate it, for all the branches to ‘fall’. So yesterday after work
I came home and decorated it. It’s still not done need to do some final touches
on it and get a star or angel to put at the top but I’m getting there!
Chris had to work Saturday morning so
Tyler and I decorated the house for Christmas. Since my mom left & took
everything to her new house with her, I’m still trying to get my decorations
back to what they used to be but they are so darn expensive! Who would think?!
Last year I had to go get all new ornaments and stockings so I had those from
last year but this year I got some more personalized ornaments and Tyler, Chris
& I are gonna do some fun DIY ornaments that I found on Pinterest this
year. (I’ll make sure to post the steps of the ones we make!)
I also go some cute decorations for
the mantel this year. I need more but for now this will work! I need to get
bigger letters for the NOEL.
I also bought this awesome train set to go around the Christmas
tree! Growing up we always had a train and especially now since I don’t live
with my parents I want to make Christmas feel like it did when I was a kid.
Sidenote:
[My parents when they were married used to go ALL out for Christmas like every
inch of our house was covered in white lights. We had giant figurines of Santa
in a sleigh, with all the reindeer attached. Mrs. Clause, Frosty, the North
Pole. It was AMAZING! Absolutely loved it, and so many people drove by every
night to see the lights! So Christmas has always been an amazing holiday for
me]
Well until next time.
