I'm so happy that you got your lights on! Lights are like the best part!  |
Even getting it then, you'll have plenty of time to really enjoy it. Lots of time left until after New Years and that's how long most of them are up! I used to want my tree down ASAP as Christmas was over and I was always kind of sad seeing it. My sister said she likes the week after Christmas better than any week December as the stress and rush of the Christmas holidays is over, the pressure is off and you can just sit back and enjoy the decorations, the pretty tree and the expectations of NYE, etc. They even still watched Christmas movies that week so I started leaving mine up, too and now really enjoy that after-glow of Christmas even longer. I can't wait to see yours! Got to put that tree picture up soon as you can after it's up!
Oh, Mandie looks darling in that picture. What a precious little sober face! Don't you know they wonder, just like little children, what in the world that strange-looking man in red in the big chair is or why he is so different-looking? And we give them to him! I love the expressions of children and dogs handed over to Santa's!!!! LOL. Some of those looks are priceless!
