I have some really pretty pictures of lights in our back yard around our pond and stream that I will put up later today so keep watching the thread. Now my Husband put the outdoor stuff but My routine is I put the inside stuff up at the lastest Thanksgiving weekend so I have it done and over with and I dont have to worry about it in Dec. I dread doing it but Im always glad I have it done and I can go on. Even if there arent children around I think its important to decorate for christmas because it puts you in the spirit. Every year I buy some little something to add to it so I have some new.
Find some other fun things you can do like make a christmas decoration or make some fudge you could give to neighbors and to people like your vet. Thats another thing I am doing this year. I bought these cute tins and Im gonna fill them with candy and give them to mailman, teachers, my daughters bus drivers, the exterminator that comes to our house. Those type of things are really cherished and appreciated and it gets me in the spirit of giving |
