I host Thanksgiving every year, but I'm always thinking ahead to the day after when I begin decorating for Christmas. After the Thanksgiving dishes are put away, I begin putting away the decorations in anticipation of bringing out the Christmas decorations.
I spent about 5 hours today putting up my Christmas Wonderland. I found a few items that I no longer want and will be putting them up on Ebay. I love looking through my collection because it seems like new each time I go through it. I have so many amazing items, but my favorites are my Santa and elf collections. I also bought quite a few vintage ornaments this year and put them on my tinsel/aluminum trees. I have a theme for each of the 3 trees I have. Santa/vintage glass ornaments and vintage figures tree. Our real tree that we'll probably get next weekend will be covered with craftier more modern ornaments and ones that the kids have made. Each figure/ornament in my collection brings me happy memories. I love this time of year!
We went to the lighting of the Woodstock square tonight and I walked through Seasons by Peg. You have to go through that store. Her decorations are amazing. It was too crowded tonight so I'll have to go back sometime this week to really enjoy it.
May the holidays be merry and bright for you!
