Don’t get me wrong….I LOVE Christmas. The shopping, the wrapping, the baking, and initially…the decorating. But after two weeks of having boxes from the garage all over the house, it’s starting to wear me down. I got started decking the halls late this year, so maybe that is why I’m just OVER it. I’ve got two trees up (normally there would be a few more) and I can’t stop messing with them. Just when I think one is complete, I see a spot I need to fill, and start moving ornaments around. Then before I know it, I’ve wasted another hour on the tree and I’m making yet another trip to Hobby Lobby for “one more thing…” UGH! So today, I’m making a vow to myself. I’m going to go home tonight, open a bottle of wine, and put everything BACK in the garage. No tree in the bathroom this year? I’ll live. No tree in my bedroom? It makes me a tinge sad, but again, I’ll get over it. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I don’t stop now and enjoy all the decorating I’ve already done, it will be time for it to come down and get packed up again WHEN i’m done. So I’m calling it…no more making merry and bright at my house. This home is DECORATED!
Now off to my treeless kitchen to start my holiday baking….those cookies aren’t going to bake themselves!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
