Let's be honest, Thanksgiving came and went. So quickly. Really, it didn't feel like Thanksgiving this year. I knew I wasn't going to be going home, and although I enjoy my husbands sweet family so much. I was really missing my family this Thanksgiving season. And wasn't quite ready for it to be here.
With that being said, I was sure it wouldn't feel like Christmas was near until I was headed to California to spend it with the Grieder clan in that Christmas California sun!
BUT I've quickly come to learn Christmas is husbands FAVORITE Holiday. This season makes him giddy as a school boy! (I mean, he tried to make me listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.) ULTIMATE NO NO! I think last Friday, he asked like 40 times about getting a tree. Finally, I gave in and said yes. Who woulda thunk finding a good tree in Utah would be so freaking HARD! We drove around for like 30 minutes. First we went to Smith's, we had seen them putting trees out a week or so earlier, but they were all dead and funky looking. I take after my mother, we needed the picture tree! And they didn't have a stand. So we decided to hit up Wally-world. Uh, because Walmart has everything! Well, except Christmas trees. Eventually, I said lets try Lowes. BAM! PERFECT TREE!
Husband
was happy. And it started to feel like Christmas!We listened to Rockin'
around the Christmas tree.Ate delicious mexican food. Watched Home
Alone 1 & 2. Christmas Classics.
Got candy cane kisses^^ and decorated our perfect tree, but only after rearranging the entire living room, so that when it snows, we can looks out the window, put a fake fire place image on the TV and look at our Christmas Tree, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Merry Christmas all!
Love,
The Christensen's
