It's mid-November, so you know what that means, right? It's time for me to start decking the halls for Christmas. And I've enjoyed a lot of decorating in the past week even though it's a more time consuming task at the lake house since it's our first holiday here. Fortunately, unpacking boxes to reveal all of my holiday treasures always puts a smile on my face.
Thus far the only real thorn in my side has been the tree. I swear I spent a solid 5-6 hours working on my brand new nine foot slim spruce and it STILL looked as if it was only about half done. But thankfully, 45 royal blue velvet sphere picks later and it's looking a bit closer to finished. I'm HO-HO-HOping the glitter pine tree picks I ordered will be the finishing touch that closes out the tree saga I've got going.
If you're an oldie like me, you'll understand my reference to Norm from the "Cheers" sitcom that ran through the 80s. The folks at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Home Goods and At Home should be calling out my name and rolling out the red carpet since I've frequented their stores more times than I care to recall in the past week. And I'd swear the gold glitter strewn across so much of the holiday decor available is mocking me because every time I try wiping up some of the shiny little tidbits, I turn around and find more. It's like that stuff multiplies before your eyes. 'Tis the season, y'all!
Well it sounds pretty. I haven't even begun the Christmas decorating but have been in Hobby Lobby twice in the past week, and heading to Michaels today. It's hard to stay away : )
