...I think this is the only year that we haven't done the tree the day after Thanksgiving...although we did buy it that day...and it was perfuming the house with Christmas-y scent since then...but with all the packing going on we just didn't get it decorated...it's just sort of hard to pull things out of boxes...when you're trying to put things into boxes...
...we have a picture like this of Scout every year...since he was two I think...he's been putting the topper on the tree...of course then he was supported by his Papa...oh...the sweet memories of Christmases past...
...we're really trying to keep things simple (even more so than usual) this Christmas...as we try to get things packed and ready to go to West Virginia amid all of the usual Advent busy-ness...but, we keep accepting invitations...as we know how important all of the good-byes are...so the packing sometimes gets pushed to the middle of the night...and that's sort of fun too...as the Man and I talk quietly while Scout sleeps...and discuss plans for our new home as we're packing...
how exciting! i can't wait to be able to visit so (relatively) easily! love, k
ReplyDeleteWhile lots of people put the Christmas tree and decorations up early, many people still adhere to the 'twelve Days of Christmas'.
ReplyDeleteWe will put ours up this week and take them down on the 27th December.
I have to own that we have a fake tree that goes into the loft fully decorated ready for the next year!
West Virginia, eh? You'll be my next door neighbor.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours!
