ARE YA FEELIN' IT :)
This is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I LOVE THE WEEKEND AFTER THANKSGIVING. Don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with the shopping. I loathe Black Friday shopping. I don't even leave my house on Friday. I stay home and recover from the huge amount of food I ate the day before.
What I DO love about this weekend...it is time for the Christmas decorating! Yippy.....heaven. I am sort of old school. I don't put out any Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. And this year made me nuts because holiday items were in the stores even before Halloween. So wrong!
This morning I started lugging up the plastic bins from the basement to get started. It's an adventure ever time. I mark each box, but the unwrapping of each piece covered in tissue paper makes it so exciting.
Here is a glimpse of my kitchen table covered in one of the opened boxes of Christmas goodness. Only 6 more bins to go :)
When my cats were still among us, I would pile the tissue paper up on the floor and they would hide in it and play for hours.
This year, I think the spirit of Yogi and BooBoo took over my daughter. I found her in the living room doing this!
I did venture out for a little bit today. The traffic was a little crazy, but I only hit Target for a few things and headed home. They had these adorable felt snowman ornaments that were so cute. And just $2.00!
These ornaments were very elegent. Look at those prices! Granted, they were not glass, but how lovely would these look on a tree if you had to decorate on a tight budget.
I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Tomorrow will be more decorating....and finally finishing up some WIP items to post on my Etsy shop next week :)
Till later,
Cyndi

Hi Cyndi! I'm with you! I love the weekend after Thanksgiving. The Christmas carols are on, the boxes of much loved decorations strewn all over the place - lol! Love the Target snowmen. Have fun! xox Pam
ReplyDeleteI was able to condense my ornaments and decorations, leaving FIVE big tupperwares empty! I'm so proud of myself! After going through what I truly didn't love, I got the rest ready to donate. Then my niece emailed saying she's moving into her own place. Guess who's getting a bunch of Christmas ornaments?!
ReplyDeleteGot to love the Christmas Carols Pam!
ReplyDeleteJill, I am inspired by you. I can never seem to "reduce" the number of plastic bins! I should do the same. Your niece is a lucky girl !
