I did a thing this weekend—I decorated for Christmas!
Now, mind you, I have never, ever decorated this early before, mostly because I usually wait until after Jeff’s birthday in early December. But since he’s out of town on a mission trip right now, and when he returns, we only have a couple of days to get ready for a trip with our kids over Thanksgiving, and then there is a weekend full of Christmas parties in early December when we return, this seemed like the best (and maybe only!) time to get it done.
I don’t do a ton of decorating, but I do like to change out my seasonal stuff above my TV/fireplace and put up the tree and stockings. I have a couple of winter/Christmas throw pillows, blankets, and kitchen towels. And mugs. I switched out most of the mugs for Christmas ones!
The nativity is set up, the one my daughter brought me home from one of her trips to Ghana when she was in high school. And the garland is hung, ready to clip on the Christmas cards we receive. Now I just need to secure the coat rack that holds the stockings, and we’re good to go!
I do love the lights in my living room on these early dark days.
Have you decorated for Christmas yet? When
