It's official. I have decked the halls at my place. WOOHOO!! Yep, last Saturday, I rearranged my plants so that the tree could be more prominently displayed in the patio window and got my holiday spirit on as I unpacked the boxes and bins and listened to old Amy Grant Christmas CDs. Yes, I only become an Amy Grant fan at Christmas. It's tradition!
I love putting up the tree and getting out all of the Christmas decorations. My OCD tendencies emerge in full force, and I laugh at myself...Mel, this is why you aren't married. You would drive a man nuts! It takes me a couple of hours to fluff the branches and get the ornaments on the tree in perfect fashion. Martha Stewart would be proud. Well, maybe not, but my Mom (also a Martha) would be ecstatic and thrilled! Thankfully I no longer have to deal with the lights. Those drove me batty! I love the fake trees that have the lights already on the branches. [sigh!] Wonderful invention THAT!
I would like to find a proper nativity this year to put up on a side table in my apartment, but I haven't found the right one yet. I had to toss mine out a couple of years back due to the infamous mold encounter. [sniffle, sniffle]
Such fun to decorate for the holidays! I love it! This is HIS season. Amidst the twinkling lights, the Santas, the Rudolphs and Frosty the Snowmans, let us not lose sight of the birth of the KING.
