I was at Walmart the beginning of October and noticed that they had started putting up their Christmas stuff! I was like " You have got to be kidding me! It seems that all stores are putting up their Christmas items earlier and earlier every year. Now I for one LOVE Christmas, I love the lights and just everything about Christmas (And yes especially the true meaning of Christmas).
Now here is my thing, I know that there are people that decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. I on the other hand have always decorated the week before Thanksgiving for two reasons. One is because I have sooooooooooooooooo much stuff (27 rubbermaid containers to be exact, and that is just for the inside of the house) that it takes me a long time (with 6 kids I am surprised I get anything of it set up) to put everything exactly where I want it. Second I love to sit at my dinning room table on Thanksgiving Day with my house decorated for the spirit of the Holidays. I feel that without some type of decorations Thanksgiving doesn't feel like a holiday. So when do you decorate for the holidays?
:(
and just to let you know those containers DO NOT weigh 5000lbs! And he did not mention that I try real hard not to make them heavy, but there are times it just doesn't work out that way. I still love him even though he is stretching the truth.
As always you're cracking me up. I'm going to say a prayer for you as you go through this holiday season. Try your best not to cut any body.
