Only 7 1/2 weeks til Christmas. GAH! While I refuse to decorate the house til after Thanksgiving, I gotta think about the shop. While I love walking into a festive holiday environment, I have a hard time creating one.

The Spawn and I wandered around some stores looking at this and that. She knows me well enough that each time my face totally lit up looking at something stupid she stopped me from putting the item in the cart. *pout* Poohbare will thank her for this. *double pout*

When the kids were little, decorating the tree was superfun. For quite a few years we made every effort to create the ugliest tree we could manage. Multi-colored garland ... M 'n M lights ... hideous ornaments... Each year it was a bit more gawdawful than the year before. Good times.

I love the atmosphere before christmas much more than the day itself. I love the decorations and carols. We have not had a tree the last few years , but this year I hope the mrs will let me have one :D

As much as i love Christmas,, i do not really like decorations in the house,, a simple tree and that is it for me..
