So first off, I just have to say today is my AWESOME daughter’s 9th birthday! She is away at Girl Scout camp this week and we miss her so much, especially today, but I know she is having a SUPER birthday at camp, packed with a special cake, and a party in the dining hall, how FUN! To top off this very special day, it is a BEAUTIFUL cool 78 degrees outside. A precursor to what is soon to come I hope! The highest forecast temp for the next 10 days is 87! Exciting!
So I’ve been thinking a lot today about how I want to decorate my tree this year. I am REALLY in need of some old-fashioned Christmas. I think I might just use all white lights on my tree this year. I have NEVER used white lights on my tree before, I’ve always been really into the pretty colored lights, especially the strands that have the pink lights on them. But I just LOVE the look of the old-fashioned trees with all white lights, and holly branches and berries on them, raffia bows, ribbon, popcorn and cranberry garland, homemade ornaments, etc. Old-fashioned is definitely the theme this year. I can’t wait for Costco to put their Christmas stuff out, especially the wrapping paper! I’m definitely going to be looking for the vintage look in my wrapping paper to go with the look of my tree. Also, Walgreens always has a sale around November/December on Hallmark wrapping paper, usually buy 1 get 2 free! What a deal! I always stock up on that! Wish anyone I actually knew was as into Christmas as I am…I have nobody except my friends at Christmasallyear.org to share my early holiday joy with! Well and any readers here as well, I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my ramblings! Must get back to work now, though! Seasons greetings!
