Here's a late Merry Christmas to all! We had a nice, relaxing Christmas at my parents' house this year. We were able to get there in time for my Mom's Christmas Eve buffet and then stayed until Friday afternoon. It's really nice to be close to family! Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Practical or Hum Bug?

Does anyone else out there get to a certain point with Christmas decorating and then just run out of steam? It was always kind of a tradition in my family growing up to take the pictures off the wall and wrap them to look like presents. Then we would hang them back up. I loved Christmas growing up and my Mom always did an amazing job of decorating and making it very magical. I want to do that for Joshua, but am find out just how much work my Mom did. I either don't have her stamina, or I'm just a Christmas humbug. I do finally have the tree up, with lights and garland and an angel, but am seriously considering going sans ornaments this year. Is that terrible? The tree looks very pretty as is and there seems to be so many other things to do that I thought I might just skip the ornaments. What do you think? Well, I'd better get busy doing all those other things. In case I don't get back on here before Christmas, Merry Christmas to all!
