Every year we complain more and more about how early American business advertise Christmas, this year I saw my first commercial, although I can't remember who it was, in the middle of October, honestly I draw the line anything Christmas before Halloween however, I find in my opinion November to be fair game when it comes to everything Christmas, go ahead roll those eyes. Last week I made honey bring up the fake Christmas tree (I'm allergic to real trees) so I could start putting the lights on. Most people are not as picky as I am when it comes to Christmas lights, since this is a new tree all new lights have to be put on the tree, every branch from the tip to the trunk, this will take me hours that I will split up between two days, yep I put up a hell of a lot of lights but boy it is worth it.
This year is our first year in our new house, because of this I have had to put a lot of thought into how I will decorate, the last 10 days I have devoted all my energy into decorating the tree plus the two other smaller trees, the mantel, living room and dining room, I still have to do the staircase, put together a wreath to hang above the fireplace, a couple of flower arrangements are needed and lastly I will decorate the front of the house. My estimation is the house should be completed by the end of next week.
Now if I were to follow all the rules I wouldn't start decorating until the day after Thanksgiving, since Thanksgiving is the 28th of November that would mean technically I wouldn't finish the house until around December 16th, not acceptable, if I'm going to put all this effort into making my first Christmas in my new house I'm damn well going to enjoy it longer then a couple of weeks. That's my opinion and their is a good chance it will never change. Stay tune for photos.
