Ahhh Christmas is here, time to deck the halls and and the front yard. When we got this house I put no thought into decorating it for the holidays, (we got it in August so it was HOT! i was thinking pool?!) Little did I realize then that our house is crazy tall and we are a little on the average height side. This is not a decorating house and I am a decorating person! So needless to say that the 2 totes full of icicle lights that i have are useless to me! Yard sale potential?
Sure I can pay someone to make my house picture perfect, but who has that kind of moo la? And you can bet on it that if I did spring that kind of cash for that service, I would keep those lights up until the day we moved away! Oh how the neighbors would love me then.
So we decided to put our low lying decor up. Out came the boxes of net lights, yeah that filled one flower bed! Gosh things in Va are so much bigger than in Cali.! Those boxes of lights did my WHOLE YARD there! Off to the stores we go. It is killing the h to buy more lights when we have so many not being used at home, but what can i do? New house new look, right!
We put up the 2 trees, the big one in the front room window that just thrills the h to no end. He went outside to look at it from a street persons point of view like 3 times and then told me how it looked when he was driving up to the house. That's what its all about: getting excited over the simple things. It made me love him a little more!
Getting the house all done up is a challenge this year with the newness of it all and not having what you need and then again having too much of what you don't, but we got it done and its beautiful and PICTURE PERFECT! And needless to say thats exactly what I failed to get! A picture of the outside of the house! What the heck! haha
So now the stockings are hung by the chimney (well gas fireplace) and the wind has knocked off the window wreaths a few times, but it is still a beautiful sight from 5:30 until 9:30 when the timer goes on and off!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
