Decking Our Halls

I luuuuurve decorating for Christmas. Like, really. I don't go all out, but the things that we do do, have to be perfect.

Cue OCD.

We haven't put up our Christmas tree the last two Christmases. In 2009, we were knee deep in chemo treatments and in 2010 we were too busy working our butts off to pay bills to celebrate Christmas. Yeah. I said it. We were grinches last year, this year we are making up for it.

Regardless, when I unpacked my ornaments Thursday night I found this-

My favorite ornament. Busted. I was sad. I found this pink sparkly one at Pier 1 the second Christmas Chris and I were together. Sad face.

However! I recently picked up a tree skirt at Hobby Lobby that I love. For real. I don't know what it is about it, but it's traditional, without being old. If that makes any sense.

And I grabbed two of the matching stockings for us. I'm never matchy-matchy like that but I love them. 

Speaking of stockings, who would ever buy/use this?

Tacky right? Yuck.

So yeah, the only thing left to do is add ribbon to the tree and wrap gifts to go under it.

The best thing about this Christmas though? My brothers and dad are coming to spend it with us! I can NOT wait. 

I love the holidays.
