Confessions

I confess I started taking Christmas decorations out! I started fluffing our Christmas wreath and put decorations on it. Dusty just shook his head at me, but I don't care lol. I am waiting to really decorate after Thanksgiving, but I was just itching to see what decor we had this year. Since last year we bought decorations after Christmas we have new things this year! This will be our second Christmas together since we got married, and we have started a nice collection of decorations. I like the holidays because to me it is about family and togetherness. Presents are not bad either =) I am loving the fact that I live in my own house and not under my parents roof, because we get to do things our way. You know, decorate our way, celebrate our way, basically we get to make the decisions. When we have children I want them to have special holiday memories. It is not about presents, but about the whole experience. I have good Christmas memories, but it will be nice to put my spin on things. I was watching a TV show "Eureka" and one of the characters really liked to make their Christmas magical for their kids. This character would dip marshmallows in powdered sugar and make "elf prints" around the tree for Christmas morning! I wouldn't go that far, but the same concept is there. Making it special in your own way. As I have gotten older I have realized there is no wrong way to celebrate Christmas, but as long as you make it special for your loved ones it will be wonderful!
