Once Thanksgiving is over I usually get uber
excited about the holidays. Probably because when I was a kid (and even to this
day) my Mom decorates the house for Christmas the Friday after Thanksgiving
while listening to cheery tunes. Since we are leaving this weekend for vacation,
I don’t want to wait until we get back to decorate (the month would be almost a
third over!). I couldn’t bear the thought of returning from a week long
warm-climate getaway (hopefully to a Michigan
winter wonderland, with no ice on the roads of course), and NOT having the
apartment Christmas ready. So I decided to squeeze it into my to-do list once I
got home from this past holiday weekend.
Here are a few ways that we spread holiday
cheer around our Love Nest:
{first time we've ever had a wreath on our own front door}
{Max and I slowly fill these throughout December with random surprises for one another to open on our Christmas - P.S. Max's real name is David (Dave)}
{TREE! - one day we'll have a life size tree, but for our time in an apartment the Charlie Brown version is perfect}
{lights on the balcony - a work in progress since I thought I had more...}
{holiday snacks OBVIOUSLY!}
Missing: Poinsettia, which will be promptly purchased once we return from our trip
