Yes, December is here which means Christmas is right around the corner. My neighbors have all been busy putting up their outside lights and many of them have Christmas trees in their windows. I would guess that many more have Christmas trees in their family rooms where we can't see them. And us? Not one decoration, not one light, not a thing. To tell the truth, my Halloween decorations are still sitting packed in their tubs in the dining room, waiting to be put back in the closet. My storage closet has a couple of Santa presents between the door and the back of the stairs where the decorations go. I need to clean up the closet (when the kids are not around) so that I can switch out the Halloween boxes for the Christmas boxes and get started with decorating the house. That's a good excuse, right? And our tree is still in storage.
The kids ask everyday when we can decorate, so today I let them do a craft to buy myself some time. They colored and decorated ornaments that I bought at Michael's. We put their name and the year on them, so that in ten years they can look at them and ask why I am still hanging them on the tree. I'll always think they're adorable.
