Deck Your Halls

By Wednesday, December 7, 2016 0 Permalink

We got our tree up! But it’s currently still bare, though not because we’re lazy. Actually Dan put the lights up immediately but then realized we had two different colored sets. Doh! So Monday he went to Target to buy more lights but even those weren’t the right ones! As I sat on the floor holding multiple different colored lights, with only the slightest difference in color, I felt insanely discombobulated and frustrated that such tiny differences in color were holding me back from putting on our ornaments. But today (now that the right lights have been acquired) my plan is to put on some Christmas music, throw on a cozy turtleneck, make a fire in our lovely fireplace, and decorate the tree. Ok minus the part about the turtleneck and the fireplace cause I have neither but wasn’t that a nice image?

We realized our tree is so massive that we might have to buy more ornaments. On top of the ones I recently bought and posted on Instagram. There are so many good ones out there. I think the key is finding ones that are either really special, or cute and inexpensive. Every year Dan and I try to add a few ornaments to our collection. I mean really it’s just me saying oh my gosh this is pretty! Or oh my gosh this is cute can we have it! He understands my need for Christmas cheer. The only problem is when the Christmas decorations you’ve had your eye on sell out (cue dramatic ugly crying) but we’re at that sweet spot where things are going on sale. So hop on it!
