The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

It's Christmastime in Texas. We actually bought our tree when it was cold out this year. Last year, we went to buy one in shorts. That was on Sunday. We shopped around and ended up back at Lowe's where we got ours last year. So Sunday we brought it into the house and set it up in its stand. No energy to put the lights on it. Last night (which was Monday), I started stringing the lights. Either our tree is bigger this year or I did the lights differently because I did not have enough lights. Now it's Tuesday and I picked up a couple more strings along with a few other things after school today. I'm proud of myself in that my trip to Hobby Lobby only cost me $21.69. That's amazing given all the Christmas goodies in that place. So three days later, our tree is up and decorated. I still need to find a tree skirt. It was fun pulling out all the old ornaments. I love that I'm a child of the 80s with my Cabbage Patch, Miss Piggy, and Strawberry Shortcake ornaments. Last year we debated on whether or not to set our Christmas tree up in our front room with the big picture window where you could see the tree from the street. Since we never go in that room, I decided I'd rather put the tree in our living room where we can see it everyday. I'd rather us enjoy it than our neighbors.



Turns out Christmas decorating is hard work for a puppy!
