It happened today.
I plunged into the Christmas spirit. I don't quite know how it happened, but there is only so much I can do at this point. Thanksgiving has not yet come and gone, so I can not decorate or listen to Christmas music without my own self-imposed guilt.
That is not to say that I can not prepare for the Christmas season. I love this time of year.
This is my first holiday season in my own place, so I finally get to purchase and decorate for myself. Today, I hit Target, Michaels, and ShopKo to help me in this endeavor. (On a budget, of course.) I even started looking on iTunes for new Christmas music.
Growing up, my mom loved to go ALL out with Christmas decorations, and I loved it, too. The
house was transformed with music boxes, angels, wall hangings, garlands, snow globes, and the nativity My least favorite part of the season was what
became my job: taking all 1,298 boxes of Christmas decorations
downstairs to the storage room. I'll be a little more simple, I think.
When I return to Spokane from being with my family for Thanksgiving next weekend, believe me...my apartment will be full of visible and audible Christmas cheer.
