What a wonderful holiday season this is going to be. This is by far my favorite time of year. No, not because there are presents involved, but because I get to spend it with my family who I love very dearly. This year we are home to celebrate the holidays.
I got the house all decorated and ready for the season, however it is not fully decked out as past years. It just seams as though the holiday sneaked up on us really quickly. I did not put up any outside lights at all. Oh!! Well. My mom helped me out this year quite a bit. After I put the tree together (yes it's fake) she decorated 90% of the tree. I put the final touches on -the garland & beads. I have to admit it looks so pretty. Even the cats love it. They sit under it all the time. I think they are eating some of the garland too!!! I keep finding small pieces on the floor.
We have so many decorations for the tree, not your ordinary bulbs!!! Most have a special meaning. There are characters, snowmen, angles, and little critters. Ornaments that we have collected over the years. Thanks to Hallmark!! Hee hee!
Today, mom and I did some Christmas Shopping!!! I can finally say that I am just about done. I have only one or two more items to purchase. It was fun shopping with mom, we haven't done that in so long. She still got very tired but we did as much as we could. She was on a mission to find some nice stationary, however I guess nobody writes letters as they once did. This just goes to show you how technological our times have become. It's all email, facebook or texting. So needless to say, we came home without the stationary.
When we got home I did some wrapping. I am by far done, but at least I have a good start. I put on my annual tradition "A Chipmunk Christmas", poured some wine and did my wrapping.
I am so excited for everyone to see what I got them!!! This is why I love Christmas. I love making my family happy and I think I did pretty good this year with the selection of gifts.
It's the countdown to Christmas!!!
