I’ve been meaning to do all sorts of decorating for Christmas and the most I’ve done is light the tree. Well, two trees actually. We have a little fake tree in the parlor, right in front of the window that faces the street, and one in the rumpus room which is our main tree. The fake parlor tree only has lights on it, no ornaments. The rumpus room tree is the one Husby and I get to look at every day and night. It’s usually pretty big, and putting lights on it can be challenging. Right now it, like the parlor tree, only has lights on it. I haven’t found the time to put on the dozens of ornaments and other embellishments like tinsel.
Pictures never do it justice, do they?
What could be more important than decking the halls this time of year? Well, there’s this thing that I kind of like to do ~ provide the fun presents people will open on Christmas Day. The Etsy sales are rolling in on a fairly regular basis these days, and I had to restock my inventory at the gift shop in town. It’s pretty cool to know that my fun little crafty stuff is worthy of being Christmas presents.
Still, I really should get busy and get some presents for my own people, and decorate my house before Christmas Eve. And that’s not to mention all the baking I have to do!
But when I think about it, if you’re going to be stressed out it might as well be over something totally worth it, like Christmas!
How are your preparations coming along?

Sara I am having a quiet xmas as my husband has to work on the dairy, so we are going to my mums on christmas eve for an early christmas lunch. My children are hanging to decorate our tree but we can’t find it? Somewhere packed in one of the many sheds on the farm, hopefully today I will find it as I remember dressing the tree was such a Buzz for me as a wee child. Love your tree.
The lost tree…have you found it yet? Husby and I cut down a live tree every year. They’re full of imperfections but what a glorious aroma! Tonight I’m putting ornaments on the tree. Husby thinks we should just leave it with lights and no ornaments. What’s the fun of that?!
No tree thinking will have to buy a new one lol x
WTF? Where’s the tree?! I hope you can get one up before the big day arrives!
Found and up, very small, we live in a small farm house. I tried the big tree and it just did not work lol. Now kids happy and the boy is singing a christmas carol playing his ipad as I type Sara….. Silent night bless him.
How sweet!
