The post in which I admit we are lame and don’t have anything Christmas up with the exception of our mantle. I snagged two tiny trees from Target and replaced our 26 year old stockings with fresh ones and my oh my what a difference that made. Good-bye needlepoint and hello initial stockings. My pattern is this: I buy something very nice and hold on to it for 20+ years until it looks like it’s about to come back in style but not quite.
So far this little section of festivity has satisfied everyone in the household and when we talked about putting up the tree we were all like “eh” and so we chilled and talked some more and didn’t put up the tree. Our second plan to put up the tree was sabotaged with pouring down rain. A few more good attempts got shot down for various reasons and so still no tree. I’m starting to feel super guilty and like I might be damaging my kids for the rest of their lives by not decorating for Christmas. Either it’s true and we’re the lamest parents ever or it’s not true and it just shows how much we’ve put into decorations in the past that I think my kids will be in therapy because we didn’t decorate for one year. LOL!
If you see us and we have a dazed look in our eye like depressed zombies then hand us a Christmas tree branch and throw an ornament at us and tell us to get our act together.
So the winner of Women of the Word is Marilyn! Yay! I’ll send that book right out to you – please check your email and respond by Monday.
Now I’m off to celebrate my wonderful husband who has a birthday today. YAY!!!
