Here we are in the tenth day of December. Are you ready for Christmas? Mentally, I'm somewhat there. Physically, no. There is still so many more gifts to purchase and the inside decorating is still not complete. Little by little, I'm getting there.
The tree is finished. I invested little effort in getting it done so it's nothing fancy but it's filled with ornaments that are special to us. Oh, hi Brooke! Thanks for getting in the way.
With a few ornaments from our own childhood, some that have been gifted to us, several we've purchased since our first Christmas together, many that the kids either picked out or created themselves our tree is nothing but memories of our lives together. It may not look glamourous to you but it's very special to me.
A few of our neighbors go above and beyond with giant blow ups, lighted trees and more. It looks as though they've spent thousands of dollars. Going that extreme isn't for me but it's beautiful to see as we pass by. I'll have to try to take pictures sometime.
I always tell myself that for next Christmas I want to get all the gift buying done ahead of time and just like every year it doesn't get done. I will be scurrying to get everything purchased but I refuse to stress about it.
Your tree is lovely and unique to you and your family which makes it special. My tree is up, no ornaments! Is that pathetic? lol. And more do, I like it. I have the angel topper and of course the lights.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are on your way - don’t get stressed on how much more you have to do. It will all fall into place! It always works out!
Hello, my friend! I love your tree, and each of the ornaments on it! Like you, I always plan to be done shopping by now. Now I laugh at myself and sit down with another cup of coffee. By the tree, of course. My mom always used to say that it always gets done, and if it doesn't, so what?! Hugs!
