I have! 🙂 With the help of my younger sister Joyce, of course. Serious bonding time between me and my sis 🙂
Ever since we moved to this new house, we had more space for decors like a 6-foot Christmas tree. The dogs no longer have the run of the house, so Marc allowed me to buy a tree that would be the centerpiece of our living room.
Marc knows how sentimental I am over Christmas trees. He got me Christmas garlands when we first got married since our old tiny house was too small for a tree, and even allowed me to buy decorations for the little tree my aunt gave us for Christmas last year. Though our private space in this house is still small, the common living room area is spacious enough to accommodate the 6-foot tree.
My sister and I had a blast putting up the tree—my mom watching us work, while my dad and Marc occasionally gave decorating suggestions. I accidentally disconnected a strand of Christmas lights—good thing Dad was able to put it back into place. When we were done, we turned out the living room lights and just let the tree shine.
It was so pretty.
I felt like I was a kid again, eagerly waiting for Christmas day to come.
How about you? Have you put up your Christmas decors yet?
there is something about christmas decorating that brings out the christmas spirit. November 15 pa ako…but i lighted everything just yesterday.
Yup, ours has been up even before Halloween. We have two trees, one inside the house has a pink motif, the one outside the house is bigger and has a red and gold motif. No lights in either trees this year — my mother is extremely paranoid about fires caused by faulty Christmas lights this year, and even had the lights that we’ve had around the house (that has been there for more than 5 years and never gave us any problems) removed. I miss the lights, but I’m not going to miss the extra I pay for elecricity 😀
My parents had the decorations on since November. Though I was never really into putting up Christmas decorations, it’s always nice to see my family sit down and do something fun and relaxing.
I love decorating my home with Christmas flowers! They are so festive and brighten up my den!
